Hello There are more and more people asking for titles that have already been on the site for several months or years. This raises a question. Are we dealing with losers who love to be assisted or is there a schmilblick in the P-A site's search engine if the applicants can't find anything and feel obliged to apply?
Perhaps it should be re-explained that it is possible to search with several criteria. The title, if one is sure that it is good, or with keywords, or by artists, or by performers or by composers. But all this seems maybe too heavy.

Hi yoyo,
Without even doing a search with multiple criteria just the title find most of the scores that are requested and already filed.
There are several factors:
- people don't search (in the same way that people don't read. It is specified twice that the artists field is for artists but the requesters keep marking their messages in it).
- regular members are requesting sheet music because they can't download it from the site because they are not premium.
- most of the existing sheet music sites also work on a personal request concept. Does this play a role? I don't know.
But literally the last 5 requests I see would have been found just by typing the title of the score... Without any need for advanced criteria....

Hello to all, I will add that there is also the "advanced search" which allows to put several elements: title, composer...
But Slade said some things...the nonpremium members...who make multiple requests....and who can't even, (it's me who says it) THANK!
