The FR "Search" function is broken. Will get it fixed as soon as we can.
Sorry about that.
Jim
Damned Halliburton-they're everywhere.
did, it still works fine for me, i tried date, time, title, all types to check.
Mine works on alternating tries.
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.
I can believe broken, 'cause this lot sure hasn't worn it out. :)
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.
Uh-oh. You just peed in *somebody's* cornflakes, JR. < /grin >
LOL!
Hmmmm, working okay now. Thanks for all you do. And in case I don't ever have the honor of ever meeting you, thank you for your service to America, and welcome home.
Not working for me at this exact time.
Damn, this means I can't rag on folks for not searching prior to posting. What the heck am I gonna do for fun now?
:-(
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...
;-)

Great job. I hope the P.E. gets to see his pic.
