Hi Dick,
Yes, you are probably right. Cut down on the repeat answers, then. We just moan about them not searching, not Coding, and post the link :-) |

Hi Bill,
Unless the searcher thinks using the same words as the original topic(s), they will be frustrated even if they do try to search. We have a very significant lack of communication.
Helping people learn how to search would probably be quite valuable to many.
I guess i don't really mind the "same" question most of the time. . .

Hi Dick,
Yes, to an extent - but we are "lucky" with the "little" things that someone can potentially work out how to list all Easytrieve stuff and look at a reasonable amount of it. Similar with other products outside the "volume" queries.
I was also thinking of your regular comment that "it might help someone else some day". There do seem to be many people who come here, judging by the number of guests who far outweigh members who are ever logged-on at the time, so hopefully, somehow, others are getting something from all this.
I'm not even sure the search is working properly, judging by my attempts over the last few weeks. I end up browsing anyway. |

Yup, an danother i repeat is that if one looks at the number of "views" of many of the topics, they are quite high. I believe lots of people get answers that never post questons . . .
SEARCH seems to come and go. My guess is that the index space gets full or has some problem.

Did you read the topic? Especially about eight posts back from this one? If still unclear, let us know. |
