Just a note that I’m offering a free-forever search integration for Ghost. It’s um… 13.5 minutes to install (including making the Algolia account, configuration, registering webhooks, getting content synchronization started, and adding the widget to your site), and I’m betting you’ll get better search results. Full text search, paywalled content searched but not leaked, theme edits optional.

Here’s the link:

> **[Advanced Search — real full-text search for Ghost sites | SWS Tools](https://toolbox.spectralwebservices.com/search/)**
>
> Full-text search for your Ghost site. Indexes every word of every post and page — not just titles — with results in milliseconds. Free with your own Algolia account, from Spectral Web Services.

Holy moly, that was easy… I didn’t even need your walkthrough video.
