Think of the forum as a resource where almost everything you can think of has already been discussed. Using the search bar can get you accurate and helpful answers to your questions.
This is not totally correct. Using the word everything makes it sound like the forum is all knowing but in reality it is not. There are information from all threads that needs to be updated because the Bitcoin ecosystem of 10 years ago isn't the same thing as it is today. When newbies read these thread it shouldn't limit them from asking their question if they need newer information or clarification that they didn't find in older and similar topics on the forum.
