I was answering this post earlier today in the beginners section
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=525304
and just happen to find it indexed in google when i googled 26 mins later
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=nautilus+%27move+to%27+%27copy+to%27&meta=&btnG=Google+Search
that seems quick is there a permanent googlebot resident on these forums.

Yes... but they don't pay me enough for the job I do! danggit ;)
I noticed it too... a couple of weeks ago. Searching on Google for what I don't recall, gave a # 2 or 3 link to the forum, to a post that had been made just a short time prior to my searching google.
I just noticed too, there isn't but just under 5000 people on the board at this very minute. Incredible... That's a whole lotta Ubuntu-ing.

If that's the case - I think this should be made public...
The forum search function is pretty rubbish - I can't do any AND searches at all.
Maybe I'll start using google instead...

Hmmm. I've noticed the forum search has gone down hill. I was looking for a thread on how to build Exaile from source. I entered "build exaile source" in the forum search and I could not find the thread I was looking for. I entered "build exaile source ubuntu forums" in Google and the thread I was looking for was the very first result.
Odd I just tried it again and I found the thread through the forums search. The forum search seems very spotty. Before it gave me tons of unrelated results.
