Feature request: searching blogs

I sometimes read blogs here! However, the only way I can find them is by looking at the top results in community blogs. While there are topics, they're quite limited and I think they aren't the best way for discovering new blog posts.

Searching can also DEFINITELY help in searching blogs we've seen before, but lost (this has happened to me). As of now, the only way of doing so is if we liked the post and/or remember the author's name (it doesn't even matter whether we remember the blog's title)! Another problem is that it's less convenient to scroll through lots of blogs in a single topic when you can simply search for something more specific.

I think this won't be hard to implement (as searching usernames is already added), and I don't see any reason why not. Thanks!

Even if it proves hard to implement, if it's a useful feature and players would use it, a case could be made to add it...

FYI Lichess user blogs are indexed by Google just fine so you can usually find them via Google, especially if you use a specific query like "site:lichess.org blog some topic".

I guess still wouldn't hurt to have it in Lichess directly, though I definitely wouldn't agree with "I think this won't be hard to implement as searching usernames is already added".

Well... that works! It comes mixed in with studies, games, forums, and even usernames though (even with using keywords like "... blog site:lichess.org"), so I'd still prefer Lichess having it directly. (Also for convenience)

Alright, just my opinion :)
