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

[Captain Schpack]

Sometimes I will but most of the time I won't.

 

[Wolfpac05]

i honestly never even knew about the search bar on here. i assumed it had one, i just never bothered to look.

 

[Mcupobob]

No, but I think I might have one time. I'm on the escapist daily and I feel that most(I'm stressing most because I've made a few repeats knowingly) of my topics are orginally. Also I've haven't been asked to search bar yet.

 

[quiet_samurai]

No...because I'm harcore like that, and I never make threads.

 

[Commander Jack Rankin]

I have yet to create a thread here, but if I ever do I'll use the Search Bar.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I never use the search bar when creating threads, because I never create threads, whee!

 

[Rishtaka]

Granted there hasn't been too many of them, but after reading a million and one posts telling people to do it it's gotten through.

 

[Ocelot GT]

Yes I always use the search bar. It's amazing that a feature that has been with us for so long is so rarely used.

 

[Balaxe]

I don't make thread so i'd say no.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

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?

Yeah, sometimes I use it.

 

[Queen Michael]

No, I usually assume my ideas are original enough.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

I never create threads (as far as I can remember) so I don't need it.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I just don't make threads. This community is good for forum standards but it's still full of assholes who have nothing better to do than say "Use the search bar" in the most passive aggressive way possible.

 

[Flames66]

I've only made one thread so far and I didn't use it for that. I think making a new thread about something is better than reopening one that was closed 3 years ago. I would only care if the same thread was done within a month.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I always use the search before making a thread because it's a simple way of eliminating critism.
W00T!!! 2,000th post!

 

[Blackhol]

No I'd rather have a conversation with people's up to date views rather than read stuff from weeks ago.

 

[Kud]

Yep, every single fucking time. If I doubt it for whatever reason, I use google.

And I say 'search bar approved' if the thread sounds like something that's been done before but isn't.

I don't understand why people wouldn't use it, it saves a lot of hassle.

Isn't it a hassle doing all that searching though...?

OT: I never use it because I like to see how many losers will shout "SEARCH BAR" at me.

 

[GreyWolf257]

Every single time. Just seeing those "Use the search bar!" people drives me insane, and I once had someone use do the exact same thread as me. Needless to say, I was pissed, so I decided to always use the search bar in order not to become part of the problem.
