Wow!
I found this thread by doing a search.

09-09-2010, 01:29 PM

What the hell I will wade in on the other side of the fence.

Let me first start off by saying I fully agree that search is your friend and that there is a ton of great information to be found by using the tool.

Let me flip the coin............this is a forum..........a centre for discussion and interaction not just a repository of useful (and useless) information. So if all new people ever did was use the search then very quickly there would be nothing on the new post page (a button I use about every 15 seconds) but banter and bomb updates............ok that is in the extreme but the point is still somewhat valid...........I think.

I also think that often if a question is brought up..................or re brought up (how is that for murder of the English language) that it may bring something new to the light of day or a different viewpoint than what might be embedded in search. In the grand scheme of things if we don't wish to respond to a question that has been posed time and time again we can easily move on to the next thread.

Now again I mentioned earlier I agree with search, I often use it to point out threads to people that may have missed it and tell them to go there for some great information.

Hmmmmmmmmmm seems to me I have posted something like this before............I should have searched it (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

I remember back at Louie's house we always said the Search is your friend.

IMHO - it is so much more useful to bring up a post if it addresses the same subject. It doesn't matter if you agree with what's written or not however it does place it within a certain context which I believe is most useful.

It is kind of fun to see what Mr. Klugman would have smoked on that desert Island 3 years ago, 2 years ago, etc...

I still vote pie over cake however YMMV!

This, however, is an excellent point. Plus, newbs (or others) will sometimes struggle with the "proper" definition of something and will search on a less than ideal term, consequently missing a lot of posts.

The weight of his humidor would have sunk the island.

I wish we could search for two and three letter words, but I don't think that's something that can be changed.

Somewhere in a dark corner, Avo Uvezian weeps quietly because no one on CA can run a search for his prized AVO XO cigar...

In lieu of changes to the CA search restrictions, you could use an advanced search at google of this site to find what you are looking for. The catch is that it will only search the public areas and the results are rarely up to the minute accurate.
