Default Searching?

When using the internet you have many different options on how to find the information you are looking for. Many sites have a search button which will allow you to find specific information tailored to your needs. Alot of companies will provide info. on their website such as the diameter of the collecter of the header they sell or even the retail price of an item. Everyday I come on this website and see the same question several times on PAGE 1. Today we already have 2 posts about crank bolt removaL. Yesterday there were a couple about the main relay. If you can't take the five minutes to learn to use the search function or Google the hp for a 85 Accord HB, can you at least make sure there is not a topic on the first page that is similar or the same. How many "What RPM does v-tech start at" (I know it's vtec) threads do we really need.

Yeah, maybe they should make you read the rules and then take a test before they let you sign up J/K It doesn't matter how many people or how many times it's said, it will continue to happen. The best thing to do I guess is to ignore it.

It's been like this on prettyt much any board I've ever been on. This one is just particularly bad. Questions about the collector size of the header you just bought are a complete waste of bandwidth.

I agree but there really isn't much you can do. I mean you would basically have to hold there hand while they do it just to make sure it gets done. Most of them are new members and hopefully they will learn.

Also, sometime when people make thread titles they don't make them search friendly. So when new members go to search they can't find it cause the words they use don't come back with anything. So like I said, hopefully people can steer them in the right direction and they will figure things out.

Yes, unfortunately the 'search' button is the neglected red-headed step-child of Honda-Tech

i think the webmaster make it a huge link right next to the h-t logo at the top of the screen...at that point it would at least be hard to ignore
