When I post a question, I am always given a list of irrelevant previous questions (usually Radio Times with varying numbers) to check through before I submit mine. Anyone else find this happens?

[poorclare]

Yes and only on a few occassions has the question
been asked before. It is handy, sometimes it can be
a few hours before you get the answer.

If you head the question with the name of the crossword or quiz and the publiation, it should give you a list of questions from that heading ie DT GK . But if you put your question under some other heading you may find that most of them are irrelevent. Hope this helps.

That is what I can not understand Jim Jools! I always head my posts with the name of the crossword.

Yes it always happens. The idea is to check if your question has already been answered.

Unfortunately the search facility isn't that good in the first
place, added to which it seems to put the oldest hit first, so isn't that useful.

this afternoon it was pointed out to me that my question had been answered before more than once and I had the same problem none of the questions that came up were relevant to my heading. I was thinking like jim jools that it is because others do no put matching/relevant headings
perhaps I was being unfair!

AB have a lot to do with this. Yes the questions that come up are often irrelevant but those that run AB should be asking people to still do a search to see if their question had been asked before. I cannot agree with poorclare that only on a few occasions have questions been asked before - it is more than a few, which is why some people have been told their question has been asked before.
