Some final touches to a better search for Ghost, thanks to feedback from the good folks at Escape Collective. It's ready for a general release early next week.

Highlights

🔍 Typesense search gets smarter

You can now add synonyms, including common UK and US spellings with one click, and they apply as soon as you save. Results also show up to 3 authors and 3 tags above the posts on the first page, and you can change or hide either one.

 

🔐 Paid members confirm before changing a subscription

Closing a tiny hole, paid members who use a public promotion, group offer or plan page now confirm their email through a link first. New subscribers and free members see no change, and neither do paid members who follow an offer email sent from now on.

 

📬 A shortcut to the inbox at Outpost checkout

The “Check your email” step now offers a button such as “Open Gmail” or “Open Outlook”, so readers can get to the confirmation email quickly.
