Using the search tool is not that difficult

- mrsteveman1 10y agoThere isn't one on the site itself, but people frequently use this https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/
- socrates666 10y agoHahah there is though, at the bottom. Take note Hacker News Web Devs. The word we're looking for is "discoverability."
- marisma 10y agoThis little box with a "Search" label which is sitting at the bottom of the page.

(But yes, in general people should check for other submissions before submitting something, it would reduce the noise in /new a lot and help giving content that is less mass-appealing a better chance to be noticed. Also, if you feel to much "crap" ends up on the front page, go check /new and help upvote better submissions)
