Have we solved the problem where we search in NEWS/ACTIVISM and come up empty, then find out later it's been repeatedly posted in, or moved to, GENERAL INTEREST?

My "New Posts To You" isn't working...It doesn't post new posts and won't clear to "My Comments" after viewing...it's like Ground Hog Day (the movie).

Is anyone else having this problem?

May I suggest:

1. Put a link to the search page on the post page.
2. Put a link to these search instructions on the search page.

Not everyone reads every post, nor do we remember all that we read forever. Put this stuff where it will actually be useful to the immediate task, and you should increase the portion of posts properly searched.

Thanks for posting. I've been having problems with the search function lately. For example the other day I typed in "valentine" and got several hits. None were the article I was posting so I went a head and posted it.

After it was up I spotted the same story in "breaking" or "front page" It was worded differently and that's why I missed it there the first time but "valentine" was in the title and a keyword so I would think the search should have found it.

Really it's not that big of a deal, but I've noticed an increase in this sort of thing.

Excuse me but why is this in breaking news?? :-)

[Dirk McQuickly]

Maybe you could do a tutorial on selecting TOPICS while you're at it. For example: "FREEPER alert!" does not usually consititute "BREAKING NEWS", whereas "World Trade Center Hit By Jet Plane" MIGHT be considered breaking news.

Just wondering how much FR internal spam needs to be sorted through before actually finding a NEWS story in the breaking news section...

I've said my piece.

You forgot to point out that in a search, one is not allowed to fondle. Expecially during a self search.

Fondling is only allowed during a frisk . . .

The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title

KEYWORDS: ADMIN LECTURE SERIES; ADMIN MODERATOR; DONT ABUSE KEYWORDS; KITTENS; OVERLORD; SEARCH; THREAD NAZI;

I have a question. Does keyword only work if you pick a keyword from the title? Or are you able to bring up the thread by using one of the keywords that was put in the keyword section when you create the thread? Example above.

And how long does it take to be able to find an article with a keyword or the title? I have created a thread and later that day tried to bring it up with a keyword or the complete title and it doesn't come up.

[Mr. Mulliner]

I have a question. Why are "match all words" and "order by post time" not the default settings in search? I kind of tire of having to set them each time I do a post.

Just for the record: That "We are the Overlords" video ROCKS!

Bump to archive.

I long for the days when we could use google.com to search FR. We could find anything. All that went away the first week of February, 2002.

Any idea what happened? Was a change in the FR sofware made to make FR unreachable by web spiders? (Jim_Rob disavows any knowledge. I have asked him several times.)

I take it sweeps week is over and we are into thread reruns?

Don't you mean What she's NOT having for breakfast tomorrow? The list would be shorter.
