Philofaxy Search

Finding the answers to your favourite Filofax questions by looking through hundreds of posts on Philofaxy is not easy.... with 6500+ posts in over 19 years it is hardly surprising really. 

Even I struggle sometimes and I wrote a high proportion of the posts. I can remember writing about something, but I can't remember the year or month. 

However, there are some tools on the site that will help you to find posts. 

If you open the site on your mobile phone browser you are most probably presented with just the recent posts:

'Move to' on this view will take you to one of the many sub pages, such as Diary Inserts, Adspot etc.

However,  if you scroll to the bottom of the page and turn your phone sideways (landscape) you will see 'View web version' tap that. 

Turning it sideways will make the text easier to read, but you will now see the right hand side bar on the site, just as you do on a desktop/laptop. 

At the top of the sidebar is a search box, put in a keyword and that should find all the posts with that word in it. 

A bit further down the side bar is the 'Labels' or Tag Field. It is rather long now, but we do try to tag every post. The bigger the text the more posts that have that 'label' for example FFAT and FFAF are some of the biggest number of posts. 

If the search or label search doesn't find what you are looking for there's always 'Steve' just email 'Steve' steve at philofaxy dot com and he will hopefully send you some links to posts that has the information in it that you are looking for. 

No doubt there will be some clever bit of AI somewhere that will be able to assist with finding the answers to your questions with Philofaxy as the focus of the search....  I've done some tests with Co-Pilot AI, but I'm sure there are some better ones. I will report back..
