[Does so]

Conservatives just have to be smarter searchers on Google.

That said, I sometimes can't Google-up an FR article I just read last week. (Sorry, but I find most alternate search engines clunky—including FR's).

Anyone know a better way to Google "free-republic"? (Other than adding "series", "yitbos", "ibz" and "hugh"). ;-)

The keyword searchs within FR work well. That's why it's important to get the correct key words in and not just use them as another way to anonymously comment. That said, if you go to Google and search for whatever it is you want to search for on FR and append the search with "site:freerepublic.com" Google will limit the hits you get to just FR.

For instance "'fred thompson' site:freerepublic.com" gives this result.

Yes - the "site:" prefix. For example, find your FR home page and posts here with a Google search for:

site:freerepublic.com "Does so"

Find references to Google on FreeRepublic.com (first hit being this present thread) with:

site:freerepublic.com google

Site:freerepublic.com “does so”

try the above search format on google with the article info between the “ “
