It's called the 'search button'. Up in the top right hand corner.

I understand that there are hundreds of different posts and topics in this forum but it's most likely been covered at some point. I read a post a while ago, i really wish i had bookmarked it, where a particular topic that had a thread that was started several years ago was raised again. That thread re-appeared because someone spent some time looking for it.

The hard part is finding it. Now the members who have been around for a while are more likely to remember certain topics already been talked about so for them finding it will be easier than for new/er members but, they will still have to use the search function and the key there is using the right word.

As an example, if you are searching for anything related to Moai you might not find it under any thread using that word, it could be under Rapa Nui or Easter Island and then you have to open up every link until you find what it is you are looking for. I think a lot of people can't be bothered doing that and then just start a new thread, making things even harder to find.

Another issue is spelling. Again, if you use the search button to find a thread on 'pendants' there is also another thread where they are called 'pendents'. So without looking at all the variations you wont find what you are looking for, but it's most likely here somewhere.
