[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 226967, member: 17895"] That's not strictly true. Even if somebody else has had the same problem before, successfully finding an answer with search relies on several things: 1. The person found a solution 2. They documented it online in some way, either through forums, blogs or whatever 3. The search terms you use match the words they used (e.g. the way you describe a problem may not exactly match how somebody else would word it) 4. You are searching in the right place As you can see, there are many reasons a problem that can be fixed can be really difficult to find. I have had one or two problems that took a while to find an answer to (e.g. where can I find a list of DVD drives supported by Mac OS X without patchburn). Also, some people just aren't very good at wording there problems in such a way that a search engine would be able to match it to a result. [/QUOTE]
