I appeal to my flist

I'm trying to find a fic I'm sure I linked to in my LJ sometime in the past 18 months. A search of tags hasn't revealed anything helpful (dammit). Is there a way I can search just my LJ for a particular word combination? *pokes search options* I'm not seeing anything but that's nothing new :P

If your LJ options are set to allow robots/spiders/search engines to log stuff, and it's not f-locked, you might be able to coax Google into helping.

Ooh ok. How do I check what options I've got set?

There's a 'Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results' option down at the bottom. If that's not ticked, you might be in luck.

Try this link for the Google bit.

Drat, it's ticked. Looks like I'm doing the the "click through every entry for the last 18 months" thing :) Thanks for your help though :) That search term is going to be useful for other LJs.

Give it a try anyway, you might get lucky :)

FOUND IT!! *glee* Although, after all that, it doesn't look like I posted about it. *frowns* Could have SWORN I did. I managed to track down the email I sent the author, so I found it that way :)
