There's always loads of duplicate posts regardless of the availability of the search function. Always has been and probably always will be, I guess that's just the way it is. I can't say I noticed it was particularly bad at this moment in time. On a site that is really all about flying related issues, perhaps this part of it is just a handy little add-on to be used in the event of an IT problem, and ignored unless one arises, if ever. Probably only people who even notice duplicate posts are people that spend far too much time here, like me

For the occasional problem, easier just to post than click Page 2 for a look, and sometimes post titles don't always explain what the post is about anyway...
