John,
Please take note of my vanity about search problems beyond the first page (see Bug in FR title search function and suggested temporary fix ).

The main problem is that the first search page returns 20 titles but the next follow-up page starts at 50 instead of continuing from 20. Thirty titles are lost leading to duplicate posts and other problems. This is the way the title search returns posts in the current system; thirty titles are skipped each time:
1-20
51-70
101-120
(etc.)

On the subject of vanity threads. I think their should be an additional category for FReeper generated threads. Vanity is fine for personal threads like “Having terrible time finding a place to live in post flood New Orleans”, or “What should I know about moving to Tampa?”.

On the other hand when a FReeper wants to post a thread they have written about a serious topic of general interest, perhaps it could be designated “Think Piece” rather than “Vanity”, or some other appropriate designation.
