"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon

Sounds ok to me, can't see any real harm from a buyer's perspective. One other feature I always thought might be kind of nice on the forums (and I know diyaudio.com has this) is a section before you submit a new thread that asks "did you search the previous threads for an answer to your question?" and then you must answer yes or no before it will take the new thread. Its no biggie, but I notice sometimes the same topic will come up often, sometimes within days of each other-like should I get a "passive or a pre." It might cut down on some of the threads?

To be even more picky, and its just me, a spell checker that forces the worst of mispelling to be corrected and lone I to be capitalized.

The forum search engine is woefully underused - same questions come up repeatedly ad nauseum. I guess people are just too lazy to even try it? I use it nearly every day, but then again the engine window could be more prominently displayed - I wonder if people even know that it's there available?
Regarding the "did you search the previous threads for an answer to your question?" yes we should require that too.

I think having a price search is a good idea. As far as previous threads are concerned, lets not be to harsh as some subjects need to be updated from time to time.
