Well, the point, once again, is that title searches aren't the best way to find songs. "heel for heel" brings it up right away, and so does "toe for toe." It's important to search for distinctive words or phrases that aren't likely to have alternate spellings. It seems like the "Digitrad and Forum Search" (SuperSearch) is usually the best of our search engines. The blue box is good if you search for phrases in square brackets. The titles list was an experiment that failed.
Another important point is that if you occasionally post a song that's been posted before, it's no big deal - but it's kind of fun for the rest of us to catch you and needle you about it a bit. It helps if you search before you post, but it's well-nigh impossible to do a perfect search every time.
Thanks.
