I read many forums, covering many unrelated topics, and every one has a search box. Every one. Without exception. And without exception, newbies asking the same question that has been asked and answered hundreds of times, are scathed by the regulars.
If you're going to ask a question in a new forum, it always pays to search for your question, read the FAQs, and to read the archived threads before asking. This isn't limited to this forum, or to aviation forums in general. It's universal.
But no one does it. Just as no one seems to be able to use a general search engine such as Google. You can find just about anything you want to know by using Google, but it takes a little work, and some intelligence about using search terms. Practice helps a lot.
