Honestly. Do you use the search function to see if the topic you want to post about has already been posted? I know I don't.

Only when it is a link to an article, or some current event.

Very rarely, but none of the poll options really fit. I use the search function if I am about to ask something in a forum I don't frequent. I also use the search function to try to find an old post that I remember, and about halfway through, I realize why I hate the search function.

Honestly, I don't know how to effectively search for what I want.

I try "pooper" -r and it never works.

I like this. I like adding the "Yes. This." instead of the quote by itself. Gives it a little sumpin' special.

Its a shame google doesn't index the forums very well.. You can search within a domain by adding 'site:twoplustwo.com' to your search, but after testing it for a few minutes, it is woefully inadequate.
