I forgot to mention that you can add another word or phrase besides the freeper’s screen name, and bring up discussions of that subject or mention of that exact phrase. Sometimes other stuff comes up too, of course, especially if the freeper’s screen name is not unique.

In linux, using Opera 9.51 check out this search box... a bit hard to figure out what's going to happen...

It’s just a PITA to have to do it on ONE forum when the other 50 forums I’m on all have vB tags

Just stick with FR, and stop going to all those other forums.

Works for me ;).

There are some who don't like the fact that a topic under discussion violates some religious precept of theirs so they simply hijack the thread and restart it as a duplicate under the RELIGION category.

They then establish it as ECUMENICAL, which they interpret as being Stalinesque (the exact opposite of ecumenical).

For some reason the RELIGION MODERATOR is tolerating this nonsense. Earlier at least one RELIGION MODERATOR would simply re-categorize such threads on the request of the same dishonest thread duplicator.

This practice must be stopped!

I never Google!

The biggest dupe problem we have now is you have multiple one and two line snips posted with little meat attached... from multiple varied sites including TV stations, news sites, blogs , etc and then folks just popping one off themselves.

It’s the nature of the media beast. Do what I did.

I retreat more from FR than I used to but not becuz of dupes... and it’s nice to see such a solid group of regulars pitching forks and tossing the threads at the wall.

I am OBama’d out .. I’m My FRiends’d out .. I don’t even get excited when the GoP House riots ..

I relish the day when we outlaw 24 by 7 politicking which goes on now even in off election years.

As a nation, we are politicking ourselves to death. How the heck can we live in peace when we are constantly in each others face and egged on by a bunch of mutts and pundits.

Thanks for posting this, btw. Have a good one.

FR seems to be painfully slow today... (or is it just my computer?)

Also, I tried to do simple TITLE searches using Fox, FR, etc., and no results came up. Makes no sense because I know there are titles of threads that contain the words Fox, FR, etc.

???

Thanks for posting this....must admit to being one who has used the FR search tool and been disappointed.

Figured out that i had to switch the drop-down box...got that far, but still having trouble if the first post did not have the title exactly right, or, if the article i read was a derivative of the original in some secondary source...and maybe with a slightly different headline.

searching for the first few words in the article should help.

and, BTW, sometimes i like to see a second posting of an article i might have missed if i was not monitoring FR each and every day...

the posting police at FR are usually all over duplicate postings and usually indicate duplicates within the first few replies, but it seems that instead of leaving the duplicates up there should be some mechanism for attaching them to the original thread...and allowing them to continue to get views and comments.

A minor adjustment in the fact that FR’s own search is indeed working pretty well at the moment...
