As a n00b myself (albeit one who hasn't started any threads), I find it slightly ironic that the grand search turned up, wouldn't you guess, a new thread created by a n00b with no responses!
Be honest - the search function on forums suck. Especially for n00bies who won't know the best keywords to use. Yes, I know how to search. Yes, I know it is a smart search an all, but unless you "search site" on Google, you will usually not find the thread you need, or will be inundated with dozens and dozens of unrelated results.
