You know what LJ ought to have? Search parameters for one's journal. Have it be a paid member feature or something. That would be far more useful than, say, phone posts, which I still don't get wtf the point is. Because being able to search my LJ would ROCK. I'm sure it's horribly complicated, but one can dream. At the moment, I suppose you could search your journal using Google, but that would mean you'd have to open up your journal to be spidered/indexed, and not everyone wants that.

Edit: It has been pointed out, by someone with far more observational skills than me, that LJ has a way to do this (by clicking on the magnifying lens icon on the userinfo page). While I admit to ignorance about this 'feature,' after having tried it, I can safely proclaim it to be utter crap, and now will specify my plea to something "LJ maintains" and that "actually works."

Found out that one of my coworkers (who used to work in D.C.; we might even have been there at the same time though we didn't know one another) once had to fire Linda Tripp, before she got her job wherever she was when the Monica thing came out. Trippy huh? Oh come on, you know you love my bad punning.

Did I ever tell you I worked on the Hill when Clinton got impeached? Yeah, even though we were out of session and no doubt all I wanted to do was go home and write XF fanfic or something, I knew my dad would kill me if I missed out on this moment in history. So I went to watch the voting happen in the House of Reps. Thus, when I say I was there when Clinton was impeached, I mean I was there there. <g> Thank God I wasn't there when all that anthrax stuff was happening.

Look, if you’re going to keep slipping in the rain, at least stop wearing those revealing cotton gowns.

Yes! I had even told LJ to open my journal up to spiders, but it still won't ever find anything. :-L I end up spending hours looking for the one place where I said something. Very annoying.

Guess you'll just have to rip off my corset to find out.

That's so weird -- when did you tell it? Maybe it takes awhile to go into effect? Google can spider my journal, so I know there's no problem there...

This is why I use the memory function like a mad thing. Trick is to remember to do it. And also, I don't memory every single thing, and sometimes it's hard to know what will be memorable to me later on, which I'll want to find again. Le sigh.

Maybe I didn't do it right, then. Hrm. I'll have to go look.

Guys? Not that I have ever used it - but on the User Info page - YOUR user info page - the little row of symbols? The last one - the magnifying glass. It says it is "Search this journal". Anyone tried it? I don't know if it works or not. ~EV

OMG major *facepalm* that I've totally never even noticed it.

Yet, after just having tried it, I feel less bad, because it is CRAP. I went to Shar's userinfo to try searching her LJ for QL, and it gave me Web-wide results. A lot of other LJs, to be sure, but I thought it was supposed to just search within her journal??

So I should hone my request for "a search engine made by LJ for the sole purpose of searching an individual journal, that actually works."

Turns out I'd checked it when I should've unchecked. *^^* But I had tried the magnifying glass before, and it sucked.

I win!

Oh, wait, I can't. I got the "obscenely wealthy heiress" result. I'm too innocent to do that.
