Re: Why You Should Search Before Posting
I'm more a fan of tagging threads (or more specifically, posts) and/or giving "rep" to a thread/post. Even better, we could add Q/A duet tags/reps to specific posts, much like Yahoo's Answer does with "best voted" answers. It would require a large undertaking of the CD forum crew, yet would potentially reduce this extra noise.
The problem with "search" is that it is sometimes very difficult to find the right combination of words that will net you a valid contextual answer without giving you the noise you do not want. This is why Google is often times the worst search engine to use for anything technical. Also, sometimes you just have a brain fart and can't remember what something is called, so the next best option is to ask.
