[Vanity] Does Anyone Search Before Posting Anymore?

The search engine gives unpredictable results, but we also have "Latest Topics" which list from newest to oldest and has "Next page" at the bottom of each page; there are keywords and topics; and as a last resort there is Google and Bing.

I find posts using “blah, blah, blah” to be more annoying than duplicate threads

I’ve always been crazy but it’s kept me from going insane. ;)

Most reliable search is to use only one word in the top search box and change drop-down search box default from ‘Keyword’ to ‘Title’.

Try that and I betcha it works.

There’s no rigamarole, presumably people like to read as well as post, a cruise down the “Latest topics” will often as not turn up one (or more than one) topic already posted. Using Google or Bing is the fastest way though. More than once, when I was looking for something I’d read in the past somewhere on the web and had just posted about in rough recollection, the search turned up the thing I had literally just posted.

“I find posts using “blah, blah, blah” to be more annoying than duplicate threads”

If it’s so annoying then why did you have to repeat it?

Just wanted to see if it was a good luck for me. Whaddya think?

[caver]

Not sure.....

Have a nice day though!

I solved this dilemma years ago. I don’t post, I just make snarky comments. Usually my snarky comments are off topic. What were we talking about?

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, I thought that was me. ;’)

[Conspiracy Guy]

It was you. I was out of town and you hacked my account. This is you writing this comment as well. You are diabolical.

I use the full, correct title and change the drop box to title and it NEVER works. I am done posting and having the articles removed as duplicates. It is a waste of my time.
