>>I don’t put the entire title of an article in when I search, just a major word from it. Sometimes news services will put out articles to papers and the titles will be different in each paper, or the poster will change it themselves.

This, this, so much THIS!

And most importantly, the FR search function just doesn’t deal well with multi-word searches. So find a unique word in the article title, as you recommend, and search on that. That’s your best way of determining if you’re about to repost an article.

Thanks for this short and solid info.

for really big breaking news, i have learned to be patient, as there are regular great posters that will likely have something up before i have a chance to finish formatting.I have always opened my potentially informative or sarcastic posts in a new window, and refresh the original FR forum before i click ‘submit’.
More often than not, something i’ve found to be important, someone has already posted MOMENTS before.
