    Title Only Keyword Search Disabled?

    Any reason why the title only search is disabled? It was handy to avoid duplicate postings.

    Thanks,


    Don

    Yes it is an inconvenience, when I was hoping to search the term "big fat racist" and see how many times it coincides with threads posted by a particular poster. I'm now thwarted in that desire.

    Can I ask out of curiosity, why you have an avatar depicting a fine, intelligent actor who achieved substantial social change via a movie which addressed the issue of moronic racial hatred and who held that disgusting crime up to the light as something abhorrent and regressive? It doesn't seem to fit with your own stated views.

    I asked the same thing on another thread in this section and think I was told it 'wasn't compatible with the upgrade' -- which we all know means they have no idea why it disappeared. Or like the Rep List and Top Posters and who's online and newest member and most viewed threads and hottest threads... which also weren't compatible with the upgrade.

    Pretty soon it's just gonna be you and me here, honey, communicating with two cans & a piece of string.

    If that's compatible with the upgrade, of course. :party:

    I miss the keyword title search feature too. I'm sure those who like to read back thru the WH Insider threads & keep track of how many times he was right... miss it, too. ;)

    They've got LOTS of dupe threads w/o it. I bet the mods wish it'd come back, too.

    Wanting out of a political union doesn't denote racism from most people who post on that subject, although the domineering, condescending and generally depreciating stance taken by some provokes anti-Braggart responses from time to time.
    Deliberately dredging the News for articles which incite racial hatred and continually posting the smear threads on the same topic over and over and over for years on end, is somewhat more evidential of an issue or perhaps an obsession IMHO.

    Based on the evidence it seems unlikely, as one of them is worth ten duplicated racist (threads) every day of the week. But link the thread and we'll see who is beaten...

    The visible repetitive strain from posting repeatedly and endlessly on the same one topic up top indicates one may not take the hint and will probably go on and on and on about it, but if they knew the answer they would probably have given it.

    I know who he is and have read the book many times...just wondering why that particular poster who holds those particular views on a particular subject...would denigrate the memory by using that as an avatar.

    I have to add that removing the facility to search by thread title cannot be anything other than a gross error in the configuration of the site software. Whoever was responsible for that error should come forward and discuss it.

    For starters, it was a standard feature which enabled far faster searching than trawling through entire posts. So why would anybody want to slow the site down ?

    C'mon, reconfigure it . Some of us NEED to be able to search for thread titles. We ain't all know-nothing trolls we just come here to disfigure other people's research. Put it back , please.
