So as some have noticed (and sent me emails about, thanks for that), since we launched our redesigned website, the little search box in the top right corner of each page has not worked. Attempting to use it just resulted in an error. Well, no longer. Now when you use it, a Google search of the orchardshardware.com website (including this blog) is done. Fairly helpful I think. The unfortunate part of this is that of course everything we have in the store is not on the website so a search won’t find MOST of what we carry, but still helpful for finding information on the site.

Here’s a cool little deal though. For anyone who uses the Google customized home page (iGoogle), which I definitely recommend, you can add a gadget to execute orchardshardware.com searches right from your Google homepage! While I am fully aware that real estate on your homepage is precious and almost certainly no one but me will add this gadget I thought I would post anyway just in case. Just click the “Add to Google” graphic below.
