It's this exact rude mentality that has people leaving forums time and time again. For the record "wannabe genuis - I give everyone on the internet shit because I feel real big when I do". Many sites search features are as about as worthwhile as sticking your hand with a fork in it into a power outlet. In case you don't understand the reference I'll dumb it down. Search doesn't always cut it.
That said yes it is worthwhile when someone makes an effort. Yes for a well known subject like this. The search would probably pull up an an item or two. That said I'm sick of all these damn people that just scream use the search you idiot. Yet never ever even try to actually help people.
Then again I personally think anyone who uses the word noob in any way shape or form should be shot dead on the spot.
So maybe I've just gotten old and out of touch. It's cool to give people crap and not actually offer help. Yo man check out how elite I am because I treat people like idiots all day on the internet.
Not to mention what the original post has already stated. Many sites won't let you even think about doing a search unless you have signed up.

It was a comment and could be taken in any form or fashion.
True, some sites search functions are worthless, but there is only one way to find out and that is to try it. People ask for stuff all the time on here w/ out even putting forth the effort to try and find it themselves.
That IMO is rude to ask for something w/ out considering trying to do it on your own. I was not meaning to be rude or make myself feel like an elite genius, etc etc.
Its the people that come on here that just beg for stuff that gets people to leave the forums.
If they really wanted it bad enough they would show how much they cared about said topic and try to find it out on their own before asking. Espescially on this very topic. Just by searching "Britney Spears" it brings up about 3+ pages of stuff. And the said pic is one the first or second page.
If you felt I was trying to belittle them and they felt that way I appoligize. At the same time I am kinda saddened that one would get into such an uproar over a few sentences said by some one over the internet. What does it matter what I say or what anyone thinks. We should all be adults on here and not get feelings hurt by pixels on a screen. But just incase, once agian, I Appologize.
And as for the comment that many websites won't even let you use the search feature unless you are signed up. This might be true, but the OP is a member, so even if that statement is correct, it does not apply to them. They are a member w/ semi full access to the site (Sans the video area unless they signed up for that) and have full ability to TRY the search feature.
