    Yes. Incase you're wondering, I used the search bar for similar threads and found no direct relation to the threads.

    The search bar, it is mentioned a lot in the forums for many things. Duplicates.

    And such reasons like this is why they are barely used. These are some reasons on my opinion why the search engine is rarely used.

    If you're too lazy then you are lacking the perseverance about your point and don't try enough to get your point across.
    The search bar is right under your character settings and stuff or you can simply go to the next page on the forum list.
    You can state your opinion on similar threads or create a new one if the previous one was locked but make sure it's different than the last one.
    If you're not finding it make sure you use the right search word and look in-depth to each search result.
    If you didn't know you didn't search, didn't know this topic was this old, or were too ignorant to look.

    Results of duplicating threads,
    Disrespect,
    Immaturity accusations,
    Locked threads,
    Dejections,
    And further rebuke from staff.

    How to be better at searching,
    Search in the thread list. If you go to the forums homepage and type in something it will show a ton more results, if you go to say the WiR forums page and type something in it will be significantly more accurate.
    Search 1-3 words. It will show more results and help you avoid searching but not finding another thread on it.
    ALWAYS have search titles only. You can't duplicate a thread if the search is showing posts instead of threads.
    Search in time wise. If you have information on when the subject of your thread cane to be, put it in older than ___ or newer than ___.

    How to avoid,
    Use the search bar . . .
    Click page 2, 3, etcetera . . .
    Use the right words in search . . .
    Make your thread different from others but still on same topic . . .

    TOO LONG DIDN'T READ. I state the many reasons the search engine is mentioned, why it's not used, what results from it, reasons to use it, and how to avoid it.

    If this has helped you say so below.
    If this has hurt you say again below.
    If this might have helped you still say below.

    Feedback appreciated.
