It has bugged me for a long time that the search on this site is broken. I've never had the time to work out why but today I did so let me share it with you so that you can fix it on your site as well.
We all know that for google and other search engines the most important search term will be in your heading. So if you have two articles that match the search term the article with the search term in the title will appear first.
I have a confession to make - I am a tech billionaire. I am a tech billionaire as a direct result of my childhood and education as a Jewish person.
Before you start looking for the contact form to approach me for a donation to your cause please indulge me for a few moments. I know this will be hard for some of you but first let me share with you my story.
Usually I write to transfer information from my brain to your brain via your eyes. This post is dual purpose. It will also serve as a reminder to myself how to do something I forgot you could even do. Hopefully putting it here will remind me in the future.
Joomla uses the almost ubiquitous TinyMCE as its default editor. An editor that is immensely powerful and yet something most of us do little to learn about.
This is the second post in a series looking at some of the new features that you will find in Joomla 3.7 which is scheduled for release in March.
When I am building a web site I want to do it as quickly as possible. With Joomla 3.7 there are now several new features that will really help to speed up your web site development.

One of the main, if not the main, things that makes Open Source software different is that the code is freely available and anyone can contribute fixes and new functionality. All those contributions need people to test them and the more people that help to test then the better the code will be and we will all benefit.
It's often hard to remember that while we live all our working day (and often all the night) inside a Joomla web site our users don't. They might only need to do something on the web site once a month or maybe not even that often. So no matter how much time you spend to simplify the process they will always forget something.
When you only have one or two content creators then Joomla is pretty good but when you increase the number to ten or twenty with their content distributed across the site it can be improved.
For my latest project I need, for security purposes, to check the details of every user who registers on the site BEFORE I approve them. Dependent on their answers to the questions on the registration form they will either be rejected, approved or approved as members of a privileged usergroup.
