The problem isn't FreeRepublic, it is members not switching to ‘search by title’ and/or folks who post threads (I am so guilty of this) and not include keywords.

I’ve done “Search By Title” repeatedly, with null results, and then had a Google search find the exact title I was looking for.

I would suggest that “search by title” be the default. That’s certainly what I find myself using the most, on the site search, as that’s the best way to check to avoid a repost.

The previous search tool worked very well, in my opinion. With this new one I’m not even sure if I need to get rid of the little asterisk that always shows up.
