The IPKat is sometimes asked whether it's possible to do a site search, to hunt down those little bits of information you read months - or was it years - ago and can't quite remember when. The answer is "Yes". The IPKat weblog is indeed searchable. Just above the banner on the top of your screen that reads IPKat - IP news and fun for everyone you’ll find a little interrogation box which offers the options of “Search blog”, “Flag blog” and “Next blog”. Key your search terms into the little box, click on the option of your choice - and hope for the best.

For polling fanatics, the IPKat is trying out a new Blogger facility on the sidebar. He is testing it out with a question that seems to be exercising the minds of the French government at the moment (see, for example, here, here or here), and which nobody really knows the answer to. Thanks to Edward at Frohwitter for the suggestion.
