search function

"Use the search feature.
Your question has very likely already been answered many times before"

and
"Please use and take advantage of both the search function of the site"

But where can we find the search function, and keywords lookup ??

Thanks for help

Hi, welcome. Glad to see new people reading the FAQ.

Sadly, it kinda sucks as it fails to mention you can't actually use it right away. You need to be here for an unspecified amount of time and/or make an unspecified amount of posts before it's "unlocked".

The stated purpose is to keep out bad actors. It definitely hampers newbies too. You can sort of work around this in an imperfect way to an extent by using a regular search engine with the term you want and the site. It won't be comprehensive and might not answer the question, but ehh.

Your best bet for now might be to try to make some posts in threads about the same or similar topic. idk to be honest. Good luck.

Thank you for kind answer.

I am looking up for local topics from so many pages of threads worldwide, which overwhelming on me right now.

also for example https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/recovery-partners-megathread.23219/
looking for people close-by, it just too much for my eyes to go thru-out read all posts and small texts,
to find someone nearby who I can have connection.

Thx for this question. I went to make a post asking this same inquiry and then stumbled on your post. Thx @R. A. and @hiddeh

Having no search access makes it very difficult to use the forum effectively. But, I now know a workaround, and I understand that the search feature exists but unlocks later.

I was quite confused about the absence of a search option, as it likely leads to redundancy posts. I appreciate both of your help!
