>>However, there are things about the current implementation of the list that make it hard to work with. By far primary amongst these, at least as far as I'm concerned, is the extreme difficulty of determining if a wish I might want to enter has already been made. This has resulted in countless duplicate or near-duplicate wishes being entered into the database.

Personally, that thing is not very intuitive at all and is also very hard to use.

I know for a fact that there have been several requests to remove the 2 gigabyte limit on VFP file sizes. Yet if I search the description for "gigabyte" or even "giga" I get nothing. If I search in "gig" I get one entry and it relates to ASCII files and not VFP tables.
When I change the description search to "$" (contained in, which in my opinion should be the default here) and look for "gig" I get the same single entry as in my priuor search.
This is NOT helpful as it does not help to find a duplicate.

WE NEED A BETTER WAY.
