Default Do You Search Before Asking?

So I have been noticing that a lot of repeat questions come up on this forum. With that being said, do you search for an answer on the forums before posting? And yes, I searched before posting this.

God Bless,
Matt

Searching before asking takes all the fun out of the forum!

One thing to note is sometimes when you do a search, your terms might be different than those used on an existing thread, so unless you try a few times with different combinations of words, its possible to not find a thread addressing the same topic when you do a search. I've had that happen to me a few times

I always search before I ask. I also google things before I ask questions. Why waste other people's time when I can find the answers myself? And if I get an email which sounds like it might be an urban legend, I check it out on one of the hoax-busting websites before I pass it along.
