1) Matt is revamping the permalink scheme for WordPress. He’s planning a much nicer system where permalinks will be highly configurable.
2) What kind of problems are you having with search?
3) Yes, we’re working on it 🙂
mike, looks like you’ve gone through the pain of 3-column CSS already, but for anyone else out there that wants to try, this is the best site I’ve found for how to do it:

Look especially that the demos, particularly http://www.positioniseverything.net/guests/3colcomplex.html
When no one answers your question, look for it yourself…I heeded my own advice 🙂 :
The tag for category id is “the_category_ID()”, which is intuitive. I also discovered that most tags are defined in /b2-include/b2template.functions.php.
The search engine and longer listings (entries for a year, possibly a month) should really just list the titles and excerpts. Of course for the search engine it would be best to highlight the context of the word that was searched for.

I would possibly like the search engine to be a bit more sophisticated than an extra part of the query in blog.header.php, becos when the user finds no entrys, it doesn’t say anything like No Entrys Found…
Reviving this thread…
Currently performing a search brings up the full article, rather than the title/exerpt (as noted above, back on Aug 28 2003). I would like to change this so that not only do the search results appear on a new page (this is easy enough to do) but it only lists titles/exerpts at most, titles only at the least.
Can this be done easily? Has anyone produced a “better search” for WP?
Excellent! Thanks for the link.
