Is there a way to search Answers?
Since "Answers" seems to be kind of a Forum replacement, it would be nice to have the ability to search. I tried to find an answer with the normal search but to be honest that doesn't work at all (too inaccurate) so I'd rather ask the question again instead of looking through all the results. Just my opinion though, so vote if you think i'm right/wrong ;)

For some reason the advanced search doesn't work for me, I checked Answers and Questions, searched for postler, BeatBox and slingshot, none of those searches showed any results. Either I'm really stupid (I give that a fair chance) or it doesn't work properly until now.
I just tried. It definitely works.
There is an open bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryweb/+bug/764849
So, Ideally someone would just type their question in the "Ask" box and a search would be performed for them automatically :)
@Khampel: If you had not said anything about that search page, I would not have known that it existed. Is there a link somewhere on the site that I'm not seeing? I propose an "advanced search" link or icon next to the search box.
If you submit anything into the search box, the search page should come up.
But yeah, we should make it more obvious.
