Search My Network
Almost from day one, it's been possible to search AVC (first via google, then via yahoo, now via google). The search field is on the left sidebar, above the fold. I use it all the time to find my old posts.
I assume some people use it to find posts on things they are interested in, like my thoughts on term sheets, valuations, social networking, the Arctic Monkeys, etc.
Sometimes I won't have what you are looking for. If it's question about the venture capital business, I've got something better to offer now. You can search the entire venture capital network that I am a part of at FeedBurner.
The way to do that is go view the venture capital network badge on the left sidebar, below the fold in my house ads. It looks like this.
You'll see that you can use this badge to advertise in the venture capital network (daily subscriber reach of 150,000 people who are interested VC), explore the venture capital network (62 VC blogs), and search the network.
This search feature is provided by a new social search company called Lijit. Brad Feld has more about this on his blog. Give it a try.

Hi A VC, a great post. We go ahead with the blogs in your VC network and create a personalized Megite for Venture Capital at http://www.megite.com/venturecapital .

Hey Fred,
Lijit can search not only the *posts* of everyone in the VC network but also all the members' bookmarks, dugg items, stumbled items, etc... And with our new release coming out on Tuesday, the search will also include (with reduced weighting) blogs appearing on member's blogrolls.
Not to get into small network theory and stuff, but basically it's a search engine which has it's locus on members of the VC network and their posts, but branches out to include all their data/metadata and those that they link to.
I.e. we're the gears that turn any blog or network into it's own little vertical search engine. It's gonna be so cool!
