Just when I thought I had redone everything, I forgot site search. Each new component had it's own search, designed to be fast and efficient. Meanwhile, the top search function relied on Google's indexing (and ads). I knew it could be better. AI to the rescue.

Within a few hours, Google's site search had been replaced by a context rich replacement. The search is controlled by user access rights. It's fast. The site has an adaptive indexer... up to every 10 minutes for some components. Searches complete is less than 10 ms on the server. User experience is less than 100 ms - mostly internet time, that I cannot speed up.

The other big change is the one you can't see. The site has a health check that will identify problems when they occur, not when I see them. This enables rapid investigation and remediation. We're not talking uptime, we're talking full functionality. It's a huge gap that took a few minutes of AI.

No update would be complete without many other smaller changes: enhanced menus, formatting and consistency fixes, security improvements, api protection against bots, dead link checks, and other optimizations. I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting...

Trying to find an acceptable solution is no longer a battle of available products. This weekend I was struggling to find an application that made weather easy to view. Easy, like, not so great vision... want to read it at a glance, no struggle, no glasses, high contrast. Every app failed. Spend some money, then they have options. Back in the day (2025), we'd suffer and adapt, that was not the outcome…

One of the longest held items on my wish list was to replace the Forum. It was a blog, a calendar, and the site's user identity. It was never used for what it was designed for. Why did this take so long? Availability of a light-weight, integrated solution that does everything I want it to, without significant overhead. It did not exist…
