AlignMap SiteSearch Operational Information

Because the AlignMap SiteSearch search engine is Google-dependent, only those pages of the AlignMap website and blog and the AlignMap In Cites Tumblelog that are indexed by Google show up in the search results. As it turns out, Google does index the overwhelming majority of pages at AlignMap.com although some may be missing and some recently published posts may not be immediately indexed. Because AlignMap In Cites is, at the date of this writing, of recent origin, a lower proportion of its pages is indexed by Google.

Alternative Search Mechanisms

AlignMap.com website and blog are built on Wordpress architecture, and Wordpress Search is available under “Search Options” at the top of every sidebar on every web page on the site. Wordpress Search is less familiar to many users than is Google, as fewer search options, and has the annoying trait of producing entire post or page that contains the search term rather than the easier to manage links Google provides, but is a solid, competent search mechanism.

AlignMap In Cites can be searched by java-powered Tumblr Search via the labeled box at the end of the introduction that begins each page. That search function is especially fast and, unlike Google, will search every post on the site (Google only returns results on posts it indexes and, at this time at least, it does not index every post). The limitation of this mechanism is that, as far as I can determine, it can search only for a continuous string; e.g., entering “patient compliance” will find all instances of “patient compliance” as a single term but will not find posts with both “patient” and “compliance” if those words are separated - such as “The patient was in the compliance study.”

The Ads

The AlignMap SiteSearch Results page also shows context-related ads placed by Google in exchange for use of the Google search technology. Other than use of the search process, AlignMap and AlignMap In Cites receive no compensation from the ads.
