Note: after I wrote everything below, I wanted to at least try to see if search functionality worked in a different browser, since I use Safari... and you know what? It totally does... or at least it does in Brave. So it looks like this may just be a Safari-specific issue, yomomma. Is that what you're using, too? What about other folks? Does Search not work in other browsers, too? I don't personally plan on switching browsers over this, so I hope it'll get fixed, especially as this bug occurs across all the win sites, but maybe it's not going to be especially urgent if us Safari users are too small a minority.
With the recent upswing not only in double posts, but triple, quadruple and beyond # of posts recently, all over a short period of time, the easiest solution would be to tell board members "Search before you post. And use descriptive headlines when you post."
But without Search working (it doesn't work for me, certainly, and this post now confirms I'm not alone), it's tougher to put the blame all on our serial Dupe Artists, or help them to reform their ways.
Also (and I don't think this is a terribly controversial statement) Search is pretty much a critical basic function of any message board.
I 100% agree with my good buddy here!

Search function has never worked for me using Brave on iPhone
