code push shortly
Hi -- the code push I promised earlier today will be starting in about 10 minutes. The site will be completely down for approximately 15 minutes while I do some database updates.
In happy news, the new search system finished its final tweaks and updates as of a little while ago so it's ready to go. When the site comes back up, you will be able to visit the search page (linked in the Explore menu) and search over 2.1 million entries that are public and currently searchable.
A further 900,000 entries are public but will not be in the search index because we have automatically detected your current "minimize my journal's inclusion in search engines" setting. If, after the code push, you would like to make your entries available to site search, you can visit the Manage Account page, Privacy tab, and make that change. Your entries will show up in the index within the following 24 hours.
I'll update this post when the push has been completed, and any issues you run up against should be posted here. Thank you!
Edit: Update complete. Please let us know of any breakages or anything weird!

So, global means, anyone searching on Dreamwidth will find public entries; searching a specific journal (that I can restrict to my access list or just me?) means not from a site search but from ...hm. Somewhere else? And will include entries they can see? Or...? I totally meant to ask these questions earlier.

Also, your question should be answered if you take a look at http://www.dreamwidth.org/search -- both site & journal search use the same interface, just with a radio button. The "Searching your journal" drop-down in the Privacy tab of Account Settings is what governs that.

Okay, so, I see that, and I see that I can choose MY journal, or all of DW. However, I don't see how I could search anyone ELSE's journal from there. I mean, it says
O Site Search (Public Entries) O Journal Search: florahart
There is no way to change that florahart that I can see. So, I see how to search the site in general, for public entries, and how to search me (which I continue to love), What I don't know is, does that mean it's just that no one but me has given me that permission? This is possible, especially if many people on my reading list have generally minimized search engine inclusion and thus are defaulted to not being site-wide-searchable.

If you have access to search another user's journal, it will appear as a link on that user's profile -- there's no way (yet!) to just search among your circle from the search page, and to search someone else's account involves a URL change.
For instance, check this: http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/profile
Last element of the interaction menu (on the left in most site schemes) is "Search For Entries". Clicking that brings you to http://www.dreamwidth.org/search?user=dw_suggestions
o Site Search (Public Entries) o Journal Search: dw_suggestions
So the journal being searched changes.

Only enabling it for reading pages has no effect, but enabling it for journals gives the same result as if one were to choose to enable it for both.
Just thought I'd mention it somewhere. Sorry.

My friends are weird. Can you do anything about that?
