Spelling and search

[Angus Robertson 577]

How do I spell check a post?

 

How do I search for old posts?

In the Web UI, search is upper right on the white bar.

Also, if it is your own old post, you can also check your activities on your profile.

Ah, a white box on a white background with a light grey caption.  Thanks,

And spell checking should be a browser feature... at least my Firefox does it for me.

Grammarly is a nice Chrome plugin for spell-checking in any edit box.

There ist also "Activity" > "Search" from the menu.

I'm using Firefox, but no spelling.  I have 'check your spelling as you type' checked. 

Later, installed a British dictionary and Spelling now appears on the right click menu. 

 

I thought better web applications used Ajax for spelling nowadays.

Why reimplement features that are present on the clients side?

Yes I like that idea too, but:

This is just another service that reads ALL my texts I ever enter and sends them to their KI servers ...

 

In my naivity I thought that Google and Facebook should make enough headache

But does it work with those pink lenses?

Is there another UI?
