Also, yesterday there was something glitchy about the spellcheck feature

LOL: Every word I typed was hi-lited as being mispelled or is it misspelled. I'm such a crummy speller, I thought it was working fine.

It wasn't me. The Search button was already coming loose last time I pushed it.

No problem. Nobody used it, anyway

LOL. Funny I was just going to post about the search engine not working. Lucky I saw this thread I guess.

Woops. I have posted two articles and used search and didnt find them previously posted. I'll check again when the search works and if they are duplicates I'll ask them to be deleted.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /focus/search on this server.

Hey, just a suggestion (maybe not original but I have not read it elsewhere):

Often duplicate articles are posted because titles were changed and searching did not locate a duplicate article.

Although it would be very processor intensive to maintain search indexes of every thread (due to their constantly changing nature), it would not be very processor intensive to index ONLY the article TEXT (which is static) in addition to the TITLE. If this was in place posters could search for unique lines of text from early in an article and thus find original posts even when the title has been changed.

Just a little item that you can implement as soon as you get done with the other 20,000 items on your "to do" list, but it might paradoxically reduce server load...

;-)
