Rediscover 14 years of content on the Node

Introducing the Node’s new search and filter function.

Just over a year ago, I was applying to become the Node’s Community Manager. One of the pre-interview tasks was to come up with ideas for the Node, so I wanted to look back at what’d been done already. While I enjoyed discovering random posts from the early days of the Node, I quickly realised that the search function was rather limited: I could only filter by date or category, and it wasn’t possible to filter by date and category.  

Now, I’m delighted to introduce our brand new ‘Advanced search’ function, where you can search and filter by category, tag, author and date. Thank you to the team working behind the scenes to push out this new search tool!

As the Node approaches its 15^th anniversary in 2025, we hope this new search function will allow long-time and new readers alike to enjoy all the weird and wonderful posts the Node has put out since 2010.

Have a go and let us know what you think! What else would be useful to you, our dear Node readers, to include in the search functionality?

Do you know

… we have a new Search button:

Click the Search button in the menu bar to go to the ‘Advanced search’ page.

… you can filter by category, tag, author and date:

For example, I wanted to search for ‘behind the paper’ stories that mention Wnt signalling, my favourite signalling pathway. I can type ‘Wnt’ in the search bar and filter in Tags by ‘behind the paper’.

… you can search for all the posts someone has written:

I found out the first ever Community Manager of the Node, Eva Amsen, wrote a total of 141 posts!
