Howe do you search people from yahoo?

Why don't people use the searching bar to search for the answers they want in Yahoo! Answers?

  • I was just wondering why do people ask the same questions in Yahoo! Answers (including many other categories) over and over again? Why don't they just search for it? For example, in the category "Yahoo! Answers", people keep asking the same question like "How do I put my own photo on Yahoo! Answers?" or "How can I get to Level 2?" or like "How do I choose the Best Answer?" blah blah blah. Don't they know they can search for the answers of these questions by only typing the key words in the searching bar? What bothers them asking these questions anyways? Do they really willing to lose 5 points in order to ask a question when it's totally free to search for the answers? I just don't get this. Or like in the category "Men's Health" or "Diet & Fitness", people just keep asking questions like "Does size matter?" or like "How to lose belly fat?" I mean, do they really need to ask the questions out only because they just want to seek for assurance? What happen to people who keep asking the same questions anyways? And I think the searching bar is there for some reasons, but not just stays there and not being used. Thanks for your answers and have a good day!

  • Answer:

    Why does this bother you? People come here for a variety of reasons, one of which is for contact with other humans. I understand how some of the more senseless Qs like, Am I pretty, How should I decorate my room, do my hair, get drunk etc may frustrate & anger you, but in general people are either lazy & let someone else do the searching or just like to make contact with others.

Hmm seems like you didn't use the search either for your question. http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AiIajDx_SIIn077bwC8HCcr59xd.;_ylv=3?p=why+don%27t+people+search+yahoo+answers So Alex maybe you answered your own question? That is why there is repeated questions here on Y/A? Because people want fresh answers to them? Or as you stated also some people just don't use the search? :) Besides you wouldn't be a top contributor if you weren't answering these repeat quetions sometimes?

I completely agree. Do you know how many questions I've answered about belly button piercings in the past week? And they're all the same. Either people are too lazy to sort through old answers or they're not satisfied with the answers people have come up with. Or they're just dumb as rocks. It's most likely the latter.

People like a personal touch. And they also think that they are the only person in the world with their troubles.

Maybe they are looking for new answers

It kind of explains the level of many of the people who ask questions here.

Why didn't YOU use the search bar? I've seen this type of question before, too. Besides, YA's results from those searches suck...it's often faster to ask again.
