I agree, but it always amazes me how many people don't even realize that search function exists. I've had users who have been using my message board for over a year post messages saying how nice a search feature would be, then I point out that we already have one and they are like "oh wow, we didn't see that, that's great".
And even with that, sometimes you don't know exactly what you need to search FOR. As a newbie coming into a site, you may have a question and not realize that your question is common. My thought tho is so what if someone else has already asked that question and someone has answered it. There's new people on the board now than there were then, so someone else may have a new outlook on the same old question and that may spark a great conversation.
I have taken the step recently of setting up archives for the most common questions and that helps some.
