Blogging My Life...I often use the search box on this site to find blog posts I have written in the past. I can honestly say, that at least 50% of the time, it doesn't help me find what I am looking for. So I end up using a different search engine. It just happened again, so I figured I show you what I mean.
I was trying to find my post about getting the NY Jets slippers as a gift, to write about how they ripped. So I conduct a search, using the Google Custom Search box on this site. I search for [jet slippers and I find a single result, but not the result I am looking for:
FYI, I am showing a site command search, cause they are the same results you see in the custom search box on this site, just a bit cleaner.
So I then remember, I also wrote about the iHome device I got in the same blog post, so I decide to search for ihome also and it returns the right result this time:
Now why would it not show up for the first query? I mean, it is indexed, it is in the title tag and in the content/ Why not show up????
Yahoo found it, so did Bing, why not Google?

Must be the way Google treats Jet vs Jets. Adding the "s" makes it work fine.

Interesting JETS - :) Is that the "right" way to handle it.
