Does The "Search" Function Still Work? No One Seems To Use It.

Sorry, All. I am just tired of seeing the same half dozen threads posted a bazillion times.

I dunno - sometimes I make such a fool of myself on the first thread that a second thread on the same topic is like another chance at the topic.

Uh...this'd be my first cut at this one. Sorry.

Well, searching by "title(date)" doesn't seem to work too well.
May be a software glitch.

I use it, I rarely post because by the thime I get ready to post something, it's already been up once or twice.

I threw 8 socks in the washer. When done I could only find seven with the search function. My suspicion is that washers are a portal to the fifth dimension, and the search function is useless in that case.

Hope this helps.

Putting up a duplicate post is not nearly as bad as a person denying that it is a duplicate post after someone has linked to the original post.

People don't search, but when they do, they get thrown off because PEOPLE DO NOT USE THE REAL TITLE OF THE ARTICLE. So many try to be cute and make up a clever title, so a search usually won't show it. I NEVER read those threads, just because.....
it seems awfully silly to have the same article posted and posted and posted.......

I just discovered something myself about the search engine.

If you are simply browsing from whatever page you set as your FREEPER home page, then the search only works in that section.

Such as:
You are browsing BREAKING NEWS, then, the search only works in breaking news!

I have learned to go to the main front page of FR to search because of this.

Hey, Race! Glad your legal troubles seem undercontrol.

All the whiners who gripe about everything being in Breaking News have their flags set to breaking news only.

Honestly, I just get ticked about the altered titles that make it hard for someone else to search.
