I *just* posted an article I was reading in our local rag. When I went online to retreive the story, it was under a different headline. ( on the paper’s web page)

What’s a poster to do?

I think a large part of the problem would be eliminated if people (not necessarily you) didn't think they should cut & past the entire headline in the Search field.

Think about it. We have posters who substitute the number "0" for the letter "O" when they type "Obama." We have other posters who do not leave a space between the last word of the headline and the first parenthesis mark they add (never figured that one out, why?). Both are enough to throw off a search.

So if you are about to post a "Bomb Explodes at Shrine" article, do the Title* search under "Shrine," or "Explodes," not the entire headline. *The FR definition of "keyword" is somewhat odd.
