The Search function is literal while we aren't. We give different names for the same thing so you could miss finding what you are looking for. The C14 Wiki has lots of information without using search. Also, you can narrow it down by deselecting the other boards that you don't need. I typically also change it so last ones come in first.
The members that have been here the longest can usually come up with something because they remember the different terms used.
However, starting a new subject thread that was posted within the last few pages of a board is lazy and you may get called out for it, sometimes with humor and sometimes not (not talking about this one). Depends what mood we're/I'm in.
And you are correct that even with the humor, the answer if we have one, will come out if you stick around long enough.
