Thanks. At least your reply was sensible. I am having great difficulty in understanding why I receive ERROR messages when I tried to access material which is on this website, and which I found through Google two weeks ago. Yet now I can no longer find it.
seriously though, the real answer was in your heart all along
To use google to serach on FreeRepublic:
(using search term McCain as example below)
in google type in your query term, then add site:freerepublic.com
i.e.
McCain site:freerepublic.com
If you know what date you are looking for, use:
McCain “Aug 6,” site:freerepublic.com
if you think you know the keyword you are looking for, use:
“tag/McCain” site:freerepublic.com
if you know the user nick you are looking for, use:
McCain “by davidcash” site:freerepublic.com
if you know the recipient of a thread post, use:
McCain “To: davidcash” site:freerepublic.com
Oh, that’s what you mean . . . I’ve been getting error messages also. It usually happens when the site is getting a lot of traffic, or when the hamster gets tired, or both.
Relax, take a deep breath, order a pizza with one really weird topping and listen very, very carefully:

Second, if we tell you, then we'll have to kill you. Spanking is also an option.
Third, it'll cost you.
Well thanks alot EVERYONE. This has truly been a mind-boggling waste of time. Perhaps someday you too will need assistance and you will find the kind of people who will offer the nonsense which I received here.
I am baffled by all programs. Have a Guinness, dear, and hug a kitten.
"Well...bye."
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind.
Me, too! How is it if they were only going on a three-hour cruise that they brought all those changes of clothes and Thurston Howell III brought trunks of cash and his teddy bear?
Never mind, I'm going to take a shower.
LOL. You post a vanity that reads “Is there someone around here who can explain things to me?” and we’re all magically supposed to know that you need help with how google searches link to free republic articles?
We freepers are certainly smarter than your average dishwasher soap, but mind readers, that’s a whole different thing.
BTW: if you have a sense of humor, read all the posts. If you have a great sense of humor: vote Slim Pickens for President.
Now, now. Don’t go away mad.
Just go away.
Just kidding. We are entitled to some fun once in awhile. And you are today’s provider.
