I have to search for articles often on this site. And I’d say searching this site is Pretty OK™ in general. Making content searchable on a site with 18+ years of published content is gonna be challenging no matter what, and the Jetpack Search tool we use is darned good considering it’s a drop-in solution.
At the same time, it’s a bit heavy-handed when all I really need is a quick URL I can copy-paste into some other article I’m working on. What would be cool is a search straight from my local machine which is totally possible by fetching the content from the WordPress REST API that runs under the hood of this site.
That’s exactly what Jelte Lagendijk built for Raycast, a “shortcut-all the-things” app for macOS and Windows. It’s a little extension where you simply type and a get a solid set of real-time results.
Click any item and get the high-level summary with a path to open it up in the browser.
I need it now!
Would love this for Spotlight, or at least Alfred!
