Joriku Comments - Answer Overflow

And I am done, finished up this task. I am not going for that A. Screw it, too complex xD Thank you both for your help, it's been extremely useful and took hours extra of my already 4 days into this project. Leaving the code public here, in case any one wants to look through it or needs it in the future.

Alright, let's see. How would I do to print out all existing blogs. Give them a number by taking 3 indexes for each as 1 then the next 3 indexes for number 2. So Create an ID for the stories? This is to be able to remove a post by index 0 (title) text (index 1) and it's date (index 2) for each an every post. A simple remove function. Then this will come in handy while allowing to edit that specific title or text aswell. Then just update the edit date by .new

Update: Added dates

static string[] saveBlogPost() 
        {
            // Taking care of the add post function, returning with blogPost which can be used in main function.
            // Set sequential for 2 temp strings, adds to list inside main function later.
            string[] blogPost = new string[3];
            Console.WriteLine("Enter a blog title:");
            blogPost[0] = Console.ReadLine(); // Adds userInput to index 0
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
            Console.WriteLine("Enter the text for your blog post:");

            Console.WriteLine("Your blog is now saved!");
            return blogPost;
        }

        {
            // Taking care of the add post function, returning with blogPost which can be used in main function.
            // Set sequential for 2 temp strings, adds to list inside main function later.

And printing out as blogPost[2]

Questions: What can go wrong here, and is this acceptable as a linear search method? Then, what I think this does to check If I am correct in most parts: It takes the users input, searches loops through the vector list to find the search word. Ignores the ordinal case rule skipping need of toLower/Upper. Checks if both [0, 1] index are true and searches for a word match. And if it doesn't exist, performs code below and informs that no character in the user's search matches a title nor text

So far, I updated the code to this

case 2:
                            // Allow a user to search for stored blog post.
                            Console.Write("Enter a search word:\n");
                            string searchWord = Console.ReadLine(); // Creates variable for searchWord
                            bool search = false; // If search is true or false

                            // blog instead of item
                            foreach (string[] blog in myBlogVectorList) // loops through vectorList to find the searchword
                            {
                                if (blog[0].IndexOf(searchWord, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0 // StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase, ignores using toUpper or toLower. Words treated as equals.
                                   || blog[1].IndexOf(searchWord, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0) // || - if true and true, if both are true.
                                {
                                    // searches for wordmatch in both title and text

                            }
                            if (!search) // if searchword does not exist in vectorList

                            }
                            break;
