To make it easier to find a topic / subject when we do a search:

I like the idea, it has potential, but since i'm comp illiterate in the "essance' workings, I'll leave that to the pros, but it would be nice to have an easier time locating older or past threads on topics, especially as more new members join the forum and have questions that have already been answered previously, (including questions from yours trully)

Gryphin, I wouldn't wory abut speling as that is a universal fact. Something like key words or even partial words might work.

anyway my 2 cents worth

just some ideas mac

Sounds good but I am too lazy to go searching for things, I just post a question and wait for one of you know-it-alls to respond, or just send my little Filippino man-servant off to find the answer

Geoschmo, mac, GrowlTigga,
Thanks for the feeback.
Anybody else?
All I'm suggesting is put a few words at the top of your post now and then to make it easier for folks to find?

I honestly don't see how adding keywords will help, since most of the useful ones should already be somewhere in the post itself.

When I start a new topic, I am usually very careful of the words I use to define the topic.

If everyone would do the same, it would be quite easy to do a search as the "keywords" would be in the topic.

capq, tbontob,
You are correct.
Still, if the words were included it might help:
Develop a "standard" nomenclature / naming convention
Give people a better idea of what to search for in the future.
I "think", (and I admit some doubt), that I would "home in" on the words at the top of the post and keep track of them in my mind. I hope I would "store" them either in a note pad or my mind in case I need them. this could be unrealistic but I am right sometimes.
