The Search Engine on the right-side panel provides an additional and more comprehensive search mechanism, enabling one to search for posts using any terms and not just tag terms.

Each post on this blog is tagged with certain keywords. The animated Tag Cloud on the left-side panel displays a revolving sphere of these tags and allows one to search posts via these tags. The size of the font for a particular tag is a function of the number of posts related to that tag.
