“Free Republic has the worst search feature on the internet. I find it flat out impossible to find already posted articles I end up reposting. That is why I don’t even bother doing a search anymore. It is completely futile. Keyword, subject, title, it doesn’t matter. I can never find the previously posted articles here that I end up reposting.....”
Problem is I get chewed out by other freepers or even mods as the thread gets pulled saying “search still works” when I did search and it came up stating that nothing was found!! So as RummyChick said it was posted under a different title, different site and I picked a different place than others picked and that’s why it’s not showing up.
Key to searching is use one important word in title. In this case...I cant remember title of my thread but you probably wouldnt have seen it. If the word torture is in title it would probably pull up too many threads.
Search is easy. Just choose one word, the more unusual, the better, and search for that word in titles. Then go through the articles until you get one day before publish date.
ALWAYS works for me. 100%.
