Vanity --but really! Is it too much to ask for a bit of an upgrade to the FR search function?

[Yaelle]

It doesn’t work at all. you have to use google, and search for your keywords with freerepublic.

Many of the duplicates, I’m guessing, are because people aren’t using search, not because it doesn’t work.

" OK, JimRob and JohnRob, I know it is not a huge issue, but is there any chance we might find a way to possibly upgrade the "Search" function on FR?

I just tried a search on "integrated", "Integrated", " 'integrated", " 'Integrated", and " 'integrated' " --and I could not find My own post! Re: "

Search works fine, although I spent a few seconds and removed the ' ' inside quotes from the original title which was 'Integrated' and not in the different versions you posted above.

Searching entire title with quotes removed:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/search?s=Integrated+Muslim+Migrants+Make+STUNNING+Admission+On+%E2%80%98Disgusting%E2%80%99+Germans&ok=Search&q=quick&m=all&o=time&SX=56a1a79a1e64f8906b04c82b1f0f376c0352f766

Searching Integrated :

Try removing quotes prior to searching.

I searched 3-times each time using a single word listed below. It worked all 3-times.

Migrants
STUNNING
Admission

May I add another request, JR & JR?

Allow a poster to edit his/her post.

This would eliminate a lot of posting errors.

It works just fine, but the default should not be “by relevance”.

Google:

Free republic.com: integrated

First hit is your thread

[TomGuy]

You can use Google to search by including several words to limit your results AND add the site search:

GOOGLE BOX SEARCH WORDS Utilizer site:freerepublic.com

Including the 'site:freerepublic.com' limits the search to FR and 'Utilizer' limits it so threads containing your posts or posts to you.
