Lots of people who post stories don't bother to post any key words. Even when it's a popular topic with lots of different angles going for several days, it's difficult to find the story due to a lack of key words.

Always a good reminder, thanks.
Only words that are four or more letters are examined, so searching on "Pim" or on "CIA" will not accomplish anything.
Has this been fixed? For example, when I go to the latest threads page and do a TITLE(DATE) search on 'CIA,' it returns a whole bunch of articles with 'CIA' in the title. Same with 'PIM.' Are all the articles not retrieved or something? Just wondering, thanks.

I absolutely agree...maybe the key words should also include words in the title automatically...
Check out the original thread by the way, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/684933/posts?q=1&&page=51

LOL, don't worry about it. 'Taint important. Besides, we definitely don't want people swamping the server with searches on common three-letter words, anyhoo!

I'll see your vanity and raise you one...

The girl knelt in the confessional and said, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."

"What is it, child?"

"Father, I have committed the sin of vanity. Twice a day I gaze at myself in the mirror and tell myself how beautiful I am."

The priest turned, took a good look at the girl, and said, "My dear, I have good news. That isn't a sin... it's simply a mistake."

Oh, it is sooooo tempting to copy this and repost it!

Repost a repost of an already reposted thread? Interesting.

Ahem, I can see that some Freepers (You shall remain nameless, but you know who you are) are not taking your incredibly timely and quite articulate advice seriously.

It is apparent to me that you are trying to bring a little decorum to an otherwise nonstop verbal barrage of well...ummm...horsepucky.

Lots of people who post stories don't bother to post any key words.

Don't search by keyword. Search for a significant word in from the title of the article. Of course - that's one reason we're asked to post original titles only...
