...and it doesn't dig many if not most of my files. Damn dumb beast!
Well, no more. swish-e seems to be better behaved, and actually works! duh
These guys have cooked up a tiny perl CGI frontend (which I've reworked and cut down a lot further), and the search functionality on this site works again.
I've also fixed a long-standing annoyance of blosxom: plugins can't
cleanly set the title of a page from the story title, because the header
plugins run first and the story plugins have no official access to the
output. The fix is Really Dirty, in the best tradition of blosxom which
is Abysmally Dirty Code: a plugin with a sub last {...}
that massages $blosxom::output. If it finds exactly one story in there,
then it changes the <title> to that story's title. Hideous but
it works, and the search interface can display story titles instead of
just the boring story links.
If you want to play with the Abominable Code for this stuff, let me know.
