I noticed that – along with Google, Bing, Amazon, et. al. – there is a SDMB search option on my Firefox search box (next to the address bar on my version). Anyone else see this?

Nice feature.

It’s on Chrome too. Neat feature, but there’s a search icon at the top of the board itself, so I haven’t been using it.

I guess it would be useful if you wanted to search the Dope without being on the page. However often that happens…

I need to check with you as you have discovered all of the features already. 😜

And it doesn’t make you wait a half hour between searches! Hallelujah! I never understood the purpose of that.

I just click on stuff and explore. If it’s stupid I just go back and start again. I’m nosy.
