I didn’t realize that this was a pay-subscription message board, so I only will be bugging people here for a month. And then I shall move on to browner pastures. But in the meantime, can someone point me in the direction of a site-wide search function? Thank you in advance. 🆒

If you want to search the site, you have to pay the $14.95 membership fee.

Welcome to the dope **jamshearer**  
If you ask nice one of the members will probably do a search for you. This is our way of getting you hooked, you know like your first hit of crack is free.  
So you can post a question in General Questions if it is a factual type question, if it is an opinion type thing in In My Humble opinion (IMHO), if it is kind of pointless type think use Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS) or if has to with the arts, entertainment, or cooking in Cafe Society.  
Enjoy your month, you might like it here, a bunch of us do.

If you’re particularly witty, helpful or useful in your trial month, you might even get one of our members to pay for your first year’s subscription. So do try to impress.  
But any question that you have that’s been touched on before will be linked to in a new thread you open. Plus, you’ll get all hte new information and snark on it, as well.
