Assuming they find one. Personally just asking the question is 10x more efficient. So is not hearing "search it" every single time someone asks about a topic that was brought up 5 years prior.

I don't know what you've been searching for but there's no porn on this forum except for maybe that one NSFW thread. I've never had to search through 50 different threads - often times my searches result in 10 different threads; all answering my question because people continuously make new threads regarding them. And I practice what I preach - I always search the forum because chances are someone's already answered whatever inane question I have. I'll make a new thread asking a question only if it's something more technical than what is already out there or if it's honestly a new question that's never been answered.
The forum has a google search bar that works as you'd expect from a google search engine (hint: it's AMAZING).
As far as working on mobile.... You mean to tell me that you can make new threads with your phone but can't search? Please just

The truth is that it's not faster. Just using this thread as an example; this guy waited a day before someone answered his question. And if you're anything like chii370, waiting a day is clearly the end of the world because he can't even wait to get in front of a computer.
Assuming that OP didn't search (quite honestly, I don't know if he did or not) and someone HAS answered the question before then he probably could have found his answer within 10 minutes.
