I know this has already been addressed but this is beyond just a personal query, so I'm bringing it up again.

I've recently joined the team at kgb.com, the people who will answer any question you ask them by text message if you send it to 542542.

Many of the sites you have on Wetpaint would make great resources for answering some of these questions. The problem is, there is no "search" feature on the Wetpaint.com homepage (or if there is, it's REALLY well hidden!) and time is a factor in answering these questions.

I'd love to recommend Wetpaint as a possible resource. It would be great for the "agents" at kgb and might also send more people your way!

Any suggestions? Is there a different page I can recommend as a link to search for specific sites? Or do you have an idea at this point how much longer it will take to finish the "improvements" being made to the search feature?

Thanks!

You can still search google and use the site:wetpaint.com attribute in searches. Do you find this valuable?

"Just make the keyword Wetpaint!"
Again, it's time that is the enemy! I usually Google search for a wider range of hits and not alot of Wetpaint sites come up on a general Google search.

However, if I can answer a bunch of questions using the Wetpaint search that Madusha just posted, then other people will begin to use those sites I reference to answer other questions in the future. It's just a matter of getting it out there on enough different topics.

So far, I've only been able to use Supernaturalfanwiki.wetpaint.com as a reference for about three questions because that's the site I know best (it's my daughter's) but we get a bunch of queries about other shows as well as gaming, relationships and other things you really don't want to know about, lol!

When I'm on tomorrow night, I'll try searching Wetpaint for some of the questions and see what I come up with.
