Searching one's journal?

[nancylebov]

Ordinary googling used to work pretty well for finding LJ/DW articles, but it doesn't any more. Sometimes (even starting with url: doesn't help much) it will give a few articles, but it ignores keywords from subject lines and sometimes only gives the url for the journal rather than for a particular article it cites.

Any suggestions?

I use ljArchive (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/). Same general idea as ljbook, mentioned above, but you can update rather than creating an entire new file. (I update at least once a week.)

This. It's a great way to have access to your entire LJ, including comments.

Me, too. Doesn't work for communities, but it's great for my personal LJ. (Don't know if it works with DW, either.)

I love the fact that it archives comments -- that's a configurable feature, so you don't have to if you don't want to.

this is also what I popped in here to mention.

Also, it means you don't give your LJ password to a third party. Even if you don't care about the risk to your own entries, remember that that password grants access to journal entries from bunches of other people too.
