Doing a keyword search may help in some cases but not all.

Example: TSA

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/tsa/index?tab=articles

You should see all the search results for............

The search function includes this caveat:

Only article titles can be searched and words with three or fewer letters are not searched at all.

My technique is to use Google as follows with the pipe symbol as the OR operator to match any of the search terms:

site:freerepublic.com TSA|DoD|DoJ|SoS|DHS

Title search, no. Four letter minimum. Keywords - three letters will work only if someone took the time to be nice enough to put them in there.

Use Google’s ADVANCED search to review Article titles by searching (paste this into a google search box):

tsa site:freerepublic.com/tag/*/index?tab=articles
(this example looks for TSA in the title - actually on the page).

You’ll have a link to the article where the title appeared.

You’ll likely need to search for each search acronym separately.

Also may help but not organized;

Google search for:

site:freerepublic.com "TSA"

FR's search function has always been crappy and many requests for improvement have been posted over the years.

I use Google. Include in the search box the site to search:

word term site:freerepublic.com

[LibWhacker]

Do a Google search for this:

allintitle: TSA|DoD|DoJ|SoS|DHS site:freerepublic.com

Once Google returns its results, you can go into 'advanced search' and narrow it down to articles that were posted in the past day, or past week, month or year.

So, did anything work - or are you still lost?
