How effectiv is the search button really?

[PB_and_J]

Well we all know that when someone new asks a question here, they are garenteed answears like: "Use the search button you ****** noob" "search" even "botter".

Well clearly those people have never used the seach button befor.

Lets say he wants to know what sos, or seal of star means.

He goes to the seach button, types in "sos or seal of star" to get the best results and what does he recive?

3446 matches, with the first 10 results being:

The search button doesn't work that well, but the times I used it, worked pretty well for me.

[Stallowned]

If there was an option to search only titles it would really narrow a lot of searches down and make searching much more effective.

[Slashdot]

I hate the search button because IT ONLY GIVES ME THE RESULTS I AM LOOKING FOR.
