The search algorithm on Analog.Cafe has got a mini update this weekend (v3.26.27).
Finding a camera, film, or technique you’re looking for should now be easier. I’ve also fixed a few bugs that hid icons when you searched the comments.
It’s still not perfect (as search is a difficult problem to solve), but I think it’s better than the Google search API I used previously. While Google is very good at indexing pages, it doesn’t know how I organize this website and it can’t return rich data like the number of likes on a post.
Please let me know if you see any issues, as it’ll help me improve this part of the blog. Thanks!
