 * Does the native WordPress search only searches the blog, or it would search the
   whole site (consisting of different blogs)? Thanks.

 * I have a Google search built in to search the entire website.

 * The search boxes are blog-by-blog.
 * google search is one way to handle it.

 * adam.wulf of welcome.totheinter.net has a nice plugin – that was originally for
   WPMU – and he now seems to have updated it for WP3.0 (though I could not really
   gather the difference). The plugin has certain options, but the way it fetches
   results, and also affects the blog links – it is not perfect.
 * Since now its an ‘integrated wordpress’, there should be some ‘native’ wordpress
   mechanism to do the search through all blogs – when the multisite is activated.
 * (I am reminded of WP 1.5, when it was initially released it would not search 
   pages !)

 * each site is its own silo though. 😉
 * will network-wide search come in the future? no idea.
