Indyish Advanced Search: Explained.

by elran

Some of you out there may have tried to use our site search in the past. It hadn’t been working right for some time now..
Recently, and with the last update, the search functionality has been fixed. In addition, we’ve added a plugin which allows you to do advanced searches and narrow down results by category, author, date, and more. There is a lot of content on this site. The Indyish Advanced Search feature is just one more way for you to get at the information you want most. Here’s a quick run-down:

To start out, simply click on the Search link at the top-right hand side of the page.
click on the search link

Once the search box appears, instead of typing your search, click on the second link labeled: Advanced Search (this link now works) to be taken to this new page.

type in your search or click the link to go to the advanced search page

Here’s a preview of what the Advanced Search page looks like:
