I disagree. When I want to remember something, I blog about it. When I implemented a search feature on my site, it was a godsend, and wondered why I had overlooked it for so long. Finding something I had blogged about years ago wasn't a pain anymore, since a box is right there.
- vbernat 9y agoI often use the search engine myself too, but I believe nobody else does. When I was using Google Custom Search, I think I had hardly a few hits by year.

You can use Google or whatever to search your blog, or search local files with your posts or whatever. In any case, and especially since you're not adding the search feature on your blog for the blog's visitors, but for you, it sounds totally redundant.

- _emacsomancer_ 9y agoI wonder if searx.me could be used instead. You can get it to return more or less the same results as Google.
