Searching before video submission is a crap shoot

Sometimes I'll find a great video I'd like to Sift, but my queue would be full already, so I'd either have to wait or discard one already in the queue. For those really great videos I will discard a video already in my queue, but before I do that I try my best to locate a dupe of the video I want to post.

This is met with success maybe half of the time. What usually happens is I try to find a dupe, after not locating one I then discard a video from my queue, but the second I submit the new video, I see the dupe listed on the submission confirmation page. Now, I'm out the original video I discarded and the new one because it's a dupe.

Does anyone else feel my pain? I propose giving us the option to run through the submission process in its entirety even when our queue is full - it just won't be added to the queue. That way, at least, we can see for sure if there are any dupes before discarding a vid from our queue to make room. It seems to be a better way to search for videos than the search box, for some reason. Or, maybe we could be given the chance to save our own discarded videos? Maybe give us two days to save them at least? Food for thought.
