The search is much, much worse. It's no longer possible to return every
result for a particular search string. Nor are there snippets of the entry, just
the titles. The value of the search now approaches zero.

Actually, if you keep hitting next page, you'll get all the matches for a particular search string. That part works as it did before -- we only showed 10 matches at a time.

We're looking into putting the 'old' search (which was actually never a standard part of Geeklog; it was a modification by the team at MacFixIt) back into the newest Geeklog. However, the search routine code has been rewritten from scratch between releases, so we're going to have to start over as well.

As I said, I know it's important, and it's on our list...

You can get some context using an external search engine, e.g.:

site:www.macosxhints.com search-string

... with Google.
