How do I search my weblog?

Just a brief thoughts about my ways of finding something in my blog:

• If it was recently I scroll
• If I remember the date and it’s not too far from now, I use calendar
• If I know the words I used before I use Google search on my site
• If I can recall it by seeing its title I use All posts by title archive
• If I can recall associated theme I use liveTopics (I don’t use categories anymore because they break RSS feeds)

Otherwise I get lost. No, in fact if none of these works I assume that something I’m looking for wasn’t in my weblog, but somewhere else on-line.

I wonder how my readers search my weblog…
