EE Podcast Episode 12: Search

We missed last week, but we’re back with another action-packed, fun-filled, heart-wrenching, time-traveling, black smoke-fighting episode of the EE Podcast. We were asked to talk about search in EE, so that’s what we did.

In this episode we have a conversation about searching ExpressionEngine content. We cover the default EE simple search, advanced search as well as some power tools that allow you to smartly and easily search your EE content.

The episode is 22 minutes of a search through search. Give it a listen!

EE Podcast: Stump Ryan

In last week’s EE Podcast, Dan and I made a call for questions that we could use in our “Stump Ryan” segment of the podcast. The idea is that you, the listeners, send EE questions that you don’t think I can answer.

The questions should have one obvious answer and be related to ExpressionEngine. Dan will sort through the questions and ask me on future podcasts.

I think this will be a lot of fun to do and you’ll most likely hear me miss some easy stuff. But! This isn’t possible without your help. Submit your questions to Dan (don’t send them to me!) by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Bring it on!
