"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.

Its ok, I didn't misread it and realized it was for purchasing, but figured why not go a little off on a tangent (which happens alot around here) since it is still forum related.

I think I had suggested awhile back they do a library. However, I don't think it'll get much mileage since there's somethings that are more opinion than fact, like the cables and tubes. It could work and would be nice (I can think of alot of good article around that could just be linked). But since there is a permanent archives, I figure the whole point of something like that existing was so that people could back reference it (even if the search function don't always turn back what you want). Not to mention, back referencing can give answers that may not come up even if one starts the new thread. As far as searching by members name's-it only scares me because I dread people looking at what I write/wrote. You could get into personality profiles and watch them go through there latest obsessions. I guess I should just laugh it off.
