Most of the ideas and answers(objective and discussion categorization) here are great. To give an example, yesterday i needed to know if regex is supported in objective c. First search on google lead to this -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/422138/regular-expressions-in-an-objective-c-cocoa-application And in 2 mins, i knew what was needed to be known. Any similar answers given here by Ikai, Nick or Robert are just lost. This is a big waste on part of everyone who is contributing. Just to add. Few days back i wanted to get to a particular comment on the post where Pricing changes were announced, and it took me quite a bit of searches and keyword combination that resulted in nothing. Eventually i had to email AppEngine team for information.
