I cannot for the life of me find the "search" button.

I want to find threads that I'm guessing already exist....but know I will get backlash if I start a thread that's already going....so i looked in FAQs, it says there is a search button on most pages....I know I used to use it, haven't been on the board in a while, now cannot find it.

I feel dumb. I consider myself pretty computer literate...but uh...I just cannot find it. Help? Thanks.

    they have it turned off.....searching slows the boards down when there are so many people on....hopefully they'll turn it back on soon....;)

    thanks - I feel less dumb now (and a little vindicated!) I'll try again another time.

    Well, that explains it. I was wondering. It seems odd that the Search function slows the board down more than everyone making new threads about the same subject, but then again I don't know much about bulletin board technology.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    searching slows the board down when there are a lot of people here

    Temp workaround. Go here:

    http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Aforums.pearljam.com&btnG=Search

    type your query in the box.
