Ahhhh, I did a search using the key words scientists and holes, and found a message that said “archived” posts expire AFTER ONE HOUR, which limits search to only the most current post(s) with either the key words or titles searched on.
In terms of Jim needing to conserve the servers resources, and thus the FreeRep expenses, I can understand that.
If I win the mega millions I’ll make sure Jim/FreeRep has lots more resources with a permaent endowment making regular big annual donations.
It seems to me that a line or two of code could be inserted to pre-screen out duplicate posts................
