Guide to Finding Duplicates

This topic could be potentially added at the end of the Suggestions Directory (which I'm still patiently waiting for the big list so I can usurp* it) because they're in the same vein of “finding existing topics”. It could be at the end where it's something like “If you can't find a topic in this list, try these methods:”. One less sticky and one more step to the Master Sticky.

*Crusader Kings made me think the actual definition of usurp was more peaceful and less “illegal” and “by force”

I thought that the Master Sticky idea was a joke.

I already mentioned it to @Za-Chary*, who basically said it would take a lot more work to manage, and it would make it uncomfortably long.

The Master Sticky is a hyperbolic representations of my beliefs that less stickies is better.

Neat coincidence, I guess. Though, ideally the Suggestions Directory would be massively long anyway and this would be a little bonus, so it shouldn't do that much make it that long. A lot more work might be true, but surely somebody with enough diligence could overcome it.

Though, I suppose we might just have to live with a bunch of stickies that are just begging to be merged

For the forum search engine recommended by fdreerf, could the paragraph it is in mention that Jeffalo created it? A topic recently mistakenly stated that fdreerf made the search engine.

You've had an amazing idea, one that you're sure will revolutionize Scratch. So you head to the Suggestions Forum and type out your suggestion and all the reasons it's wonderful. Soon after you post your topic though, you discover someone else had your idea and you wasted a lot of time.
So, before you suggest, be sure you check for any topics out there that might be the same as yours.

That sounds like some sort of advertisement no joke, or some sort of user's manual (which it kind of is)

This is a guide, not a suggestion. Therefore, it is already implemented.

Hi, I have a new website for my tool, could you update it?

The new website is: https://scratchforumsearch.glitch.me/

I also use some of these searches for just searching the forums in general. Thanks!
