Poll: Do you use it? Be honest...

[Instant K4rma]

When creating a thread, do you use the search bar to look for similar threads or posts? I'll be honest upfront. I usually don't, and this thread may very well be proof of that. But my question to you, Escapists, is this:

Do you actually use the Search Bar when making a thread?

 

[ArcWinter]

I don't make threads. I am afraid of creating content that will make people hate me.

Actually, it's because I don't have anything interesting to talk about.

 

[Blanks]

yes i do, but then again depending on your wording your threads could be a copy even if you did search bar
My threads arn't very popular even if they're original-ish

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Not really, but since I haven't started any thread yet I dont see the point

 

[sniperworm]

Nope, I don't make threads. Goes against the whole shy guy thing to actually start a conversation.

 

[ejb626]

Sometimes but not ussually, I ussually try to think of a really unique idea, not to mention the search function almost always freezes my computer.

 

[Mushroomfreak111]

I usually do, sometimes I forget. This is not the forum I'm most active on tho.

 

[ottenni]

No because i don't make threads. I am after all boring and unimaginative n stuff.

 

[Monshroud]

When I create a thread I do use the search bar. So yeah....

Like many others I get a bit annoyed how every week there is someone asking "Wuts da best movie quote evar!" or "Bestest song from a game" You can only answer that stuff so many times before you just want to slap someone.

 

[Syphous]

There's a search bar?

 

[Trivun]

No. Because I refuse to bow down to the Search Bar Nazis. Anyone who ever dares to post 'Search Bar!' on one of my threads will get their asses mailed in a PM to whatever mods are online. They're as bad as trolls.

 

[AkJay]

I don't use the search bar. Yea, I said it!

 

[FactualSquirrel]

I've made a total of one thread, and it's one that was very unlikely to have been done before.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

yes

But then i rarely make threads

 

[awsome117]

Yep, I always do.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Sometimes, but I rarely make threads unless I'm 75%-100% sure they're original.

Regardless, I haven't made a thread in ages...

 

[Jharry5]

The few times I have made a thread (many moons ago), they were all literally 'Search Bar Approved'. It just saves a lot of hassle later, for only a few minutes checking...

 

[dmase]

Yes, but i usually stop looking after about a year(or six months if there are a lot of results) most people who say checked search bar say they looked through like 3 pages or something mad props to them because i get bored after one page of looking at topics. I have gotten accused of adding to the 2012 craze but i typed 2012 in the search bar and got no relavent results for over a year back and my topic was unique i was talking about Nasa and what they had to say about it.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

nope
