Someone mentioned once before that the default search engine that comes with this site is poor. On the other hand the Google Site Search is extremely powerful. I've had no trouble finding things posted months ago. It looks like the Google Site Search is set up to be added directly to web site. Adding it to DW could be useful:
http://www.google.com/sitesearch/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In reading the scriptures, there are two kinds of mistakes:
One mistake is to cling to the literal text and miss the inner principles.
The second mistake is to recognize the principles but not apply them to your own mind, so that you waste time and just make them into causes of entanglement.

Google Saffron does this. See the box at the bottom of the home (index) page. It also searches through many other Theravada sites.

There's also an addon for the browser: "Search the current site"
This way you don't have to type every single time you search for something "site:www.dhammawheel.com".
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fombdekjcp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/a ... te-search/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Probably also available for other browsers.
Edit: I am just using the chrome-addon, don't know if the Firefox-edition is good - maybe there is a better one for Firefox.

Re: Suggestion: Add Google Site Search To DW
Sorry for necromancing this thread, but I have a small thing to add:
You can type in every search query for google the following after your keywords: site:<the site>
This way you can search any site with google. This works for top level domains too. Some examples:
dhamma site:.org to search for the word "dhamma" on pages that have the .org top level domain.
dhamma site:dhammawheel.com to search for the word "dhamma" on this site.

Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.
