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...
