When you work 60-70 hour weeks regularly, an occasional sleep-in is NICE.

Problem with search is that you have to know what your searching for, and if its off the first page, well you have no idea what to add to the parameters.

I appreciate your patience, and how well you think out your answers.

Your question is how to know what to search for, and the answer is to search for the title of the article you want to post. FR depends on fundraisers. Bandwidth costs money, and duplicate threads eat bandwidth. So, frequent posters search to see if their article is already posted as a matter of courtesy.

See the above post 143 for an explanation of how to search if you are about to post an article. The Search function doesn’t depend on which page an article appears on, since FR gives individuals the choice of 20, 50 or 100 posts per page. It just looks for the title, to help avoid duplication.

Thanks for that post. Some people don’t use their brains & realize people have different schedules. Not everyone can be on FR early in the morning.

I have a foolproof technique.

I pick one word from the headline, the more unique, the better.

Then I search down the results until the chronometer-stamp is older than the article.

Easy-peasy and I never miss.
