## Source excerpt

Just a couple of weeks ago I was offering tips on how to search the website in lieu of a search engine. Having gone thru the process repeatedly and trying many different approaches and off the shelf solutions we decided to build something simple of our own and we did. This is a compromise, search works on the server instead of using the fact that the site is statically generated. As a result it is far from ideal but it's still pretty comprehensive and finds the right answers for most of the stuff we threw at it.
