Option regarding entering FX

Please please please please please please no repeated feature requests.....That slows down the process only.

So this is already long on my list and guess what....and more....... (SPOILER ALERT)

With utmost regard, Thomas, I understand how tiring it must be for you to have to repeatedly tell people that something has already been requested but it is really hard as a user to know what has or has not already been requested. The forum search engine is generally terrible, even google isn’t bringing up good hits for this particular topic in its indexing of this forum, and I’m not aware of a unified catalogue of accepted/rejected feature requests or a development roadmap as such. 

How are users reasonably to know what has or has not already been requested or what you are working on?

Could a forum software upgrade perhaps address some of its search weaknesses? Could a requirements management system be adopted and used to handle change requests? etc.

I got to say that 9 of 10 things are mostly possible to find through the search function. I do that myself if I get this 'Deja vu' feeling and mostly with success.
My list is very long and I go from time to time through the requests and discussions to see if I missed something.
But generally I think it makes much more sense to check first for similar things. And to add a +1 there or a remark would be much better.
It saves me so much time which I can use to get these things actually implemented.
