Reader updates: “Best” lists now searchable in more ways

search My – A blog that maintains roughly 2,500 categorized and regularly updated “Best” lists is rolling out more accessible ways to find them, including a weekly series organized into narrower categories and searchable pages.

For people who’ve ever tried to track down a specific recommendation inside a sprawling archive, the problem is simple: “best” is everywhere—until you need it fast.

The site behind the “Best” lists says it now holds about 2,500 categorized entries that are regularly updated. Readers are directed to a broad-category page where all lists can be found. with a link also available at the top right of the blog under “My Best Of Series.” Another page presents the same lists in the chronological order they were originally posted. accessed by clicking “About” at the top of the blog and then scrolling down to “Websites of the Year.”.

The archive isn’t small enough for guessing. The site points out that Control + F on PCs and Command + F on Macs can help readers search for keywords across the lists when they know what they’re looking for.

But the updates go further. In an effort to make the collection both more accessible and easier to navigate—while also revising and updating many entries—the site began posting “Best Lists Of The Week.” These weekly posts break the larger set into narrower categories. with the content completely revised and refreshed at the same time.

So far, about fifty “Best Lists Of The Week” have been created. Each one is designed to encompass several hundred “Best” lists, though the site estimates it will take a year or two to build versions that include all 2,000-plus lists, especially as new recommendations are added continuously.

To find the weekly editions, readers are told to visit a page titled “My Best Of The Week.” The lists appear as “buttons” and are shown as alphabetized—“more-or-less,” according to the site. There’s also a shortcut from the top right of the blog’s homepage, via a link labeled “My Best Of Week.”

The message to readers is direct: the site hopes the different ways the lists are organized will help people actually find what they need—and do it quickly—whether they’re returning regulars or finding the archive for the first time.

  1. So basically ctrl+f is the whole point? lol I guess it’s good they made it easier but I swear none of these sites load fast on my phone.

  2. Wait, are these “best” lists searchable now like… by category and also by date? Sounds like they were just hiding stuff before. Not gonna lie I hate archives that make you dig through 800 pages.

  3. I don’t get why it needs a whole weekly thing. If it already has 2,500 lists why not just let people search the site properly? Also “Best Lists Of The Week” sounds like clickbait idk. Is it the same lists every week or new ones? Sounds confusing.

  4. Control+F / Command+F helps… sure, but most people can’t remember keywords like that. I tried something similar and it just pulled the wrong part of the page anyway. Also “about fifty” weekly ones… so like 50 weeks until it’s done? And they said 2,000-plus lists? That seems like a lot but I guess if it’s organized it’s fine. Either way, I’ll probably still end up typing “best” into Google and giving up.
