I think that there needs to be a term comparable to RTFM concerning Super Search. Maybe -- PUSS -- Please Use Super Search???

As I thought I had seen this particular question (or at least something very similar) recently, I put the title "similar items in a list" into Super Search. The first pass it came up with 29 possibles, second pass 23, third 15, fourth 12, and fith pass showed 4... Now I do realize that all 83 of these found items don't have the exact answer to this querry or even give assistance to locating or developing such, but several of them do. I have found that while going through the chaff to try and locate the one grain of wheat that I am hunting that I usually learn a lot more than I would have if I just asked the question in a new node and depended on the answers given there. What I learn may not be (and usually isn't) directly about the information that I am searching for but it does tend to give me insite to other areas that I would never have thought to ask about otherwise.

Guess I'm just beating a dead camel but I've been told that it tenderizes the meat if continued for for an extended period of time. ;-)
