And most of the Mods here do give you a link to the original thread. If not a member usually chimes in and gives the link before the thread is closed. Everyone gets frustrated with searching cause they really dont know to search the forums. Use the Google Search options to search. It works 100% better than the default search option

i think people make the search harder than what it is. if you want to ask a question, just use the key words of that question. you will come up with multiple threads but you have to SEARCH for the answer. if people stop commenting with useless info or argue in someones' thread then the answer would be on 1 page instead of 32 pages. just my 2 pennies...

the last couple of pages is the reason this was shut down. two or three people arguing and none of them started the thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41345

Agreed. 98% of the time a member will chime in before a mod will post the link to the thread because most of us have read it on the site and can quickly find it based on search terms.

I generally do not have an issue with searching on here when I need to. The 5% chance that I can't find something quickly when using the native searching, I google it.

I have been Googling more because most of what I need is covered reaptedly. We also have to remember we were once NOOBS and didnt think before starting a new thread as well. I know I did. Most of the time now, once I find and answeer I ask a MOd gto closd the thread or go back and try to edit and clean the thread up so it can be more helpful to other memebers

The intention of this community is for users to help each other, can you get a yes to that with your response statement? Ideally if a thread is a dupe, just post a link to the correct thread, that's all I am saying, it's my opinion and I know that I am not alone.
