How are topic searches done here?

Asked by Rozee (352points) October 1st, 2009

I want to make sure that I follow the guidelines for submitting questions. It seems that it is impolite or maybe just annoying, I am not sure on that point yet, to ask a question that has been talked out. For example: If I wanted to ask about a commercial about ED and the specific question were something along the lines of “What does ED treatment have to do with a couple holding hands in separate bathtubs (he in one, she in the other) on the beach?” how would I verify that this is a new question?

You can use the search box in the upper right hand corner.

Well, if you’re trying to be original, unique and generate a truly novel question kudos to you. but you’ll be in the minority so just ask away and you’ll get a half dozen links to previous questions anyway. Sometimes it’s good to ask the exact same question again anyway. It generates new answers from new posters.

honestly, I wouldn’t think anyone has gone there just yet—> “What does ED treatment have to do with a couple holding hands in separate bathtubs (he in one, she in the other) on the beach?” LOL

Actually, it sounds familiar as a comment or answer believe it or not.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. I had not noticed that there was a search box on the page. I did see that when I entered the question a list of siblings showed, but it seemed that there would be a better way to search….and whatta ya know, there is. Thank you.

Many people, including myself, miss seeing important things on the page, because we are so used to ignoring the advertising. You might enjoy scrolling moving your cursor around and clicking on all the interesting things you can see on this page. Especially look down to the bottom of the page and use up a lot of your down time reading stuff, and don’t miss the blog.
