Not finding what you are searching for online? A website without a search box is useless, especially if it has lots of cataloged information you are looking for.

Crash City

The webserver (software) hosting all of our websites operated by a big, corporate, web hosting company was updated twice in 2024, first in March, and again in mid-July.

A mandatory, enforced summer upgrade crashed three of our search engines for three different websites, including the one here at Quikthinking.com (but not the blog search). That's separate software.

Website domain owners usually have to supply their own search system for their webpages (that are hosted on and by an independent webserver operator).

The not so charming corporate webhost people said to me "sorry, but we didn't design the new third party backend system we installed to all of our servers, you and your websites are on your own!"

The big fix

How did I resolve this explosive headache? The cure was stepping up to a new search system.

It took one month of work, evaluating new systems, and finally picking the one that worked best. About two hundred webpages were updated across two different websites including Quikthinking.com.

There's one more website to go. That one has over three hundred web pages to update. You'll still see this search engine glitch on that website until we systematically complete the fix.

This is part of what you'll see...
