I’ve never understood why Search defaults to “keyword,” and not “title.” And frankly, no . . . whenever someone claims they did a search and couldn’t find the article, how come it (or they) pop-up when I do?

Same here, but there have been a handful of times where I did the search and nothing came up for me either. Like I said, it works well most of the time.

Some couldn't find their . . . uh, couldn't find the word 'brain' in a dictionary.

Often what the already-posted nazis (and I'm not saying you're one) mean when they say "I found it" is

-They found an article on the topic, but not the same article posted. The different articles could have different info, but the already-posted nazi only sees the topic.

-Many times the same article but from different sources will have have different titles. Yes, a little more care could prevent double posting in this casr, but it's not the end of the world.

The already posted nazis get on my nerves. Yes sometimes there are too many articles posted on the same topic.

On the other hand, I can't count how many times I have seen the article jumped on the post nazis but never saw the original they referred to. In all those cases, I'm damn glad it was posted twice because otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it at all.

Same here. Having the onfocus default to title would be better. It would save two extra mouse clicks.
