Is it just me?? Why is the search button ignored???? So many threads repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and...... Well you get the message. Or maybe not. :tongue:

    Too funny! :laugh: Personally, if I have a question or concern or gripe or whatever... I want to write it out myself and get answers for myself. I don't always want to read through 456 comments on some other thread :bigsmile:

    Touche.... however many newer people do not know that obviously if they are not using it, if they used search to search the topic "search" we would not be seeing so many repeat threads cause they would know to use the search tab..

    If you point it out to someone, do it nicely. The mods will hammer you otherwise.

    I feel like there's a difference between repeat OPINION threads, which might not be resolved to the satisfaction of the asker, and repeat "How do I ________" threads. For example, I have seen some version of the question "Why doesn't logging strength training give me any calories?" asked at least two dozen times in the past week. A simple search OR reading the help section topics would have given them the answer.

    I think a lot of people genuinely think because something has just occurred to them, it's never occurred to anyone else either.

    Some others are just lazy, and some just want something, anything, to say.

    Most questions asked on Mfp could be successfully researched via the internet, so often it's just a vehicle for starting a thread and making contact with other users I suppose. If you've been here anything longer than a couple of months though, the repeats are worse than refried beans,

    It is January, there are a lot of new people who do not know how to use the site. To those of us on here for any amount of time this seems very obvious, but others may still be confused. And frankly the search feature isn't so wonderful as people can title their topic posts a bazillion different ways on the same subject.

    My two cents, worth about a cent and a half.

    If the search function actually WORKED half the time, then there would not be this issue. But honestly, the search function sucks on this site and does not search well at all.
