"Dann dürfte man mehr finden."

[helenvee]

Apparently durfen means should sometimes and could or might at others. Very confusing.

[klang426]

Dürfen means may, or be permitted to. When it is substantive, it means might. You can tell it is substantive here because it says dürfte instead of darf. I think.

[NickInduni]

That's correct

[Sk8rMom]

"Then one mas permitted to find more" has a typo in it.

[kdn]

"mehr" sounds like "merr". "dürfte" = "should" or not?

[jaspercat]

To me, 'mehr' sounded like 'mir'.

[Gildesh]

"Dürften" isn't that a past tense?

[V_for_Vincent]

Does "durfen" ever express possibility, as in "be able to"? Or is this about having permission?

[cephalium]

Why is "Then one might have found more" not accepted? " The past tense (indicative with and subjunctive without Umlaut) is indicated. Logically, a present subjunctive would be a better choice. If so, would that be "Dann durf (mit Umlaut) man mehr finden?"
