I know this bugs the heck out of everyone when duplicate threads show up.

Please be considerate and SEARCH before posting!

Search on this site isn’t that great.

We need a better search engine.

I estimate that 50% of my searches do not return a result, or, at least a recent result.

I search entire titles, then I search one or two individual key words.

And my posts still get pulled.

As long as posts are separated by a couple hours, what difference does it make?

In fact, there are important posts that hundreds of readers miss every day because of the “one post” rule.

As a reader, how am I supposed to search for posts that I don’t even know about?

Topical searches help somewhat, but every time I read at Free Republic I find new information or new articles I never would have searched for.

Best way to search is Google. Just put in freerepublic and then, in quotes, the title of the article.

I find all my old posts that way: just add your screen name and a keyword or two of what you were ranting about.

Just use Google.

E.g., site:freerepublic.com cowbellistan

Bingo! Looks like it's already posted!

“Already posted:”

That’s just plain mean.

Funny, but mean....

Thanks that helps a lot but what the hey, no Mastadors? It’s okay much better than those two children.
