Is it time to demand a search function on Leofinance? I'm having a hard time finding old articles I want to revisit to learn stuff. There were some great NFT articles and I want to learn about this Belt thing. I'm feeling a little frustrated by the lack of a search function.

Yep, internal search on Hive is horrendous.
PeakD is terrible too.
If we're trying to encourage evergreen content, search to be able to update old URLs will become very important.

No doubts and I agree with your thinking. I hope Khal can analyze this with care and attention.

I generally just use Presearch or Google to find the articles but yes I would like a search function.

I get that but I was talking about Leo articles I had read in the past. What you are doing is leaving leofinance to search for information elsewhere. Imagine if users were using a search function on Leofinance to search leo articles before they left to search on presearch or google. That would be good for us.

We want to do everything possible to keep visitors on site. If I need to find an old article, I have to leave and go to Google. I also have copies of all of my articles offline in case I need to find something on my own.

It really matters for seo too. Time on site and bounce rate help build authority.

It's definitely going to make things more easier for users.
We might be expecting something like that maybe in the next update. Peakd jas something like that too recently and I think we'll have that here on Leo in no time

Presearch here. I avoid the other one as much as possible.

I use presearch as well but according to what I heard, the way articles are written help the most. Other stuff may help but doesn't exactly guarantee anything.

Now that people like us (you, me, and evveryone else at Leo Market Talk, plus LeoFinance) know basic techniques of SEO, we can get our posts to rank higher no matter what search engine we use. Along the way we'll write better articles which also take advantage of SEO tecniques.
(I'm guessing that SEO exists for video and audio as well, although I would imagine SEO to be done a bit differently for multimedia content.)

Since the launch of Leofinance.io I have been questioning this. It was supposed to be and it would be of great help.
Here's another tip for you, if you've found any article similar to what you're looking for, such as about the Belt, go to the tag below the post and you're sure to find many similar ones. That's how I do it when I want to find something specific. Go to the #belt tag and be happy :)

This is also why the tag pages are such important assets for leofinance.io and we should be doing more with them.
While it's been normalised on Hive to just use tags to 'get free extra tokens', authors should take more time to properly tag the topics of their posts.
How limited the #belt and #beltfi tags are shows how nobody cares.
Search the useless (in terms of actual SEO value) #pob tag and everyone chucks it on.
Short term profit vs adding real value.

Priority should be the SEO tags for any post. After that, then include the token tags.
Maybe it's time for the 10 tag limit to we rescinded?
While posting using various front ends, I noticed a quirk:

I agree with what you said, tags are a very important feature but in certain matters this tool is being used more to gain extra tokens.

Sometimes I use either Presearch.org, Hivewhat.com, or Hivesearcher.com to locate posts on Hive. All use Google search operators, so that helps a bit. Still, it surprises me that similar search functionality wasn't designed into the social interfaces from the start. Not even using the Google command syntax, just doing searches by name, date, words, etc.

I heard someone saying on discord that searching on the blockchain is kind of a pain in the ass. I have no technical knowledge of blockchain stuff so I can't say if that's accurate thou

There have been several articles on Belt posted witihin the past two days (not pushing it but I wrote one). These should be easy for you to find.
