The sheer volume of results that come back from a search is daunting enough to confuse even the smartest of rookie teams. And you have a great point about not knowing the validity of the information. It also brings up the point that some posts that are really old may have better advice than new posts, however the old posts are at the bottom of the search results.
When I began learning pneumatics last summer I searched "pneumatics" and looked in the appropriate forum. I didn't know that a valve was different from a regulator, or anything of the sort and I consider myself to be able to figure anything out. Right now, there is so much information on CD that it's becoming increasingly difficult to sort through, and it took a little luck to find specific information for what I wanted to know.
Perhaps during the 08 offseason we could start organising some pre-set search terms and have any sort of infrastructure setup so that they're easy for a beginner of any topic to find. They could also incorporate common misspellings for words like mecanum.
