Do you ever use search to find a discussion to RESPOND to?

I did a couple of times , when i was in one of the offbeat modes not finding anything interesting or friendds online. And both of them were over 3 months old. The rest of the time i'm using the search to confirm on my discussion only. I don't think you are alone at all. And my actions may not be common ones or good enough for you to form an opinion on. Freaky ones that they are.

I remember doing it a few times when I wanted to refer to some posts of someone. Mostly I searched for my own discussions when I remembered the topic but not sure how I phrased it. It's hell of a job to go back and find out individually. As I write, I remember once I had searched for Mr. Crash for I wanted to hunt something in his profile and wanted to PM some friend the link. Otherwise I go to FRIENDS STARTED and NO/NEW RESPONSES AND RESPOND.

i have not used that funtunality till now.but that option has crossed my mind to find out good disscussions whenever i feel bored due to lack of disscussions which interest me.i will be using it soon.

sometime si try to find out some diuscussion i saw once. may be that time i could not answer it. later i search it to answer.

i havent used the search engine... but i always go through topics friends started... :)

Yes i use the search field before starting a topic. Whether any topic related to it has already been started. Becoz starting the new topic again will be like a spam. So i will search for the topic and if i didnt find it, i will start it. Or if the topic is already started i will simply respond to it and leave it off

Like you I use the search only to try to search out discussion that I am thinking of posting..but there have been times when I used the search to do so and nothing came up only to find that they have one or so similar..so it doesn't always work.. for me anyhow.

I've been in this site for nearly 1.5 years already, but not a single time I have used the search facility to locate similar discussions for posting. The only times I use the search facility are when I remembered something was said in some past discussion that I wanted to get my hands on, and I was trying to locate such discussions to retrieve the information posted. Normally I respond to discussions I find from the 'today's top', 'my interests', 'friends started' and 'recent' tabs. Once in a while I will try the new discussions or those without any responses yet. One more source I act on is the myLot Digest that I get in my email. I seem to use more of that these days. Anyway, to get me to post, topics must be of interest to me.

I have not used the "search" to find a discussion. I will try to use it. I usually respond to discussions in "my interests" and "friends started."

I use it when I'm about to start a new discussions and like you to see if there are already one. I also use it to find certain discussions that I would like to respond to, like twilight and of course rice, lol.

hi james, Honestly i always search the discussion i want to respond for i want something that is more imformative, and i can relate with. Sometimes i end up not responding to a discussion for i can find a discussion that will interest me. I rather go back to my old discussion and comment all who respond my discussion that i havent commented yet.

I have a few times. I think those times were when I wanted to find out if some here are also into some shows, movies or interests that I have. Other than that, I'm like you in using the search (both tags and full text) feature to check if something has already been posted about what I want to talk about.

yes, I have a few times actually. it is quite helpful. although sometimes in looking for a discussion I previously saw. I have used this and not been able to find it again. so.. sometimes it works -sometimes not.

Hi buddies, Do you ever use search to find a discussion to respond.I am doing the regular discussion to my mylotter frnds to a responds.I have joined in mylot 20 days i have just used a discussions to a responds i never searched for a discussions I just responded to my frnds discussion and new discussions. Have a nice day.

I occasionally do. Sometimes, I feel like seeing what type of discussions there are about a specific topic. Then I will use it. Though it happens only once in a while, not very often at all.

I never knew that i could search easier ways in my lot besides just scanning thru the various interests. I am glad to know there is a way but id like to know what it is...lol I have alot to learn here and hope i find many others that would want to help me learn a bit more so i can maximize my time on here to the best i can

No I never used that functionality but I think I am going to start using that to narrow down the discussions I want to respond to.Thank you so much for that ,I am a laugh ,I was always wondering why they force you to attach tags to your discussion -now I know lol.
