I'm not telling you this to toot my own horn or anything, but if you take a gander at the pages widget in the left sidebar, you'll see something that you don't normally see: Extended Archives and Extended Categories. (I linked to them so you wouldn't have to hunt them down.)

Like the normal archives widget, the extended archives contain every article by month. The difference here is that you can see EVERY article by every month that's been published so far.

Like the normal categories widget, the extended categories contain every article by category (with the date tacked onto the end). Again, the difference here is that you can see EVERY article by every category that's been published so far. I have been spending time, here and there, moving articles into the proper categories, using DMOZ as a guide. This is only temporary. Eventually, everything will be categorized the way I want them and then I'll be renaming categories to streamline it.

Why would I even remind you of something I already posted about in WP Plugins: Exec-PHP, Smart Archives, and WP Categories and Posts? Well…

I won't say anything about browsers other than Firefox because I don't use them except for specific tasks — my bank requires Internet Explorer because it uses Active X for validation (ugh). Speaking of banks, I wish there was a real American bank branch here in the Philippines that I could have easy access to. It would solve a whole lot of problems. Oh well, that's off topic.

In Firefox, you can hit control-f and bring up a search bar at the bottom of the browser. Type in anything and click next. If I'm looking for an old article I wrote, I don't use the WordPress search. It's too general and it takes too long to find a specific article. By doing it this way with extended archives or extended categories, I can find pretty much anything in a minute or two.

Are extended archives/categories something you could use for your own blog, if you have one? Your readers might use it more than you would.
