The best way to search this site is with Google:

[$question] site:bitcointalk.org


Replace [$question] with your search item and plug it into Google.  Reduces impact to the site host and allows you to search much, much better Smiley

GOOGLE is not the answer to all searches. Let's take a real life case scenario from today.

User (me) notices that a popular website is not functioning. After several attempts of getting an error, the user decides to go to Bitcointalk.org to see if others are having the same issue.

First I go to Bitcointalk.org and Search for posts, I start by typing in "coinex" but do not see any results,  so I try searching for "coinex.pw" instead. BUT WAIT, that is now allowed!

Your google answer does not work in this case as Google results have a longer delay than needed in this case.

So after waiting to search again and NOT seeing a result (at the time), I figure Ok, I will start a post. BUT NO. IT WHILE IT APPEARS IT MAY OF WORKED, (see Already Submitted) THE POST DOES NOT SHOW UP.

So instead I get to post the question here in the newbie forum. Where all of the newbies are essentially isolated and forced to be discluded from participating in conversation and discouraged from posting meaningful posts.

It appears I have NO choice but to complain and post worthless posts until I reach some unknown level.
