  Didn't see that. It seems theres no way you can check the urls when the one I submitted ( http://www.ddj.com/dept/lightlang/199204122?pgno=1 http://www.ddj.com/dept/lightlang/199204122?pgno=1 ) and the one you refer to is at ( http://www.ddj.com/199204122 http://www.ddj.com/199204122 ). Thanks. Might not have submitted if I had been able to search. Better to have search check for similar titles (with urls) so I can check for multiple urls pointing to the same article before submission.

    A user interface issue indeed. I suppose the best we have for now is Googling within the domain, and adding comments with links to previous discussions if we remember any.

      Guess I'll try that. I just missed reading that article. Would be nice if pg added a simple google search box hack with something like site:news.ycombinator to do this automatically. Certainly kill this problem. Wonder how regular google indexes the site? Because even then, as new stuff is added the lag in crawling & indexing the problem persists. We need dynamic search. Could baysian classification be used ~ http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=24189 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=24189 to suggest dupes?
