Yes, there's that, but searching for something assumes that the user already knows that the item exists, if that makes sense.
e.g. On a recent thread, someone mentioned a podcast. A member (who obviously spends less time on the site than I do
) asked "what's a podcast?" He might inadvertently stumble upon them eventually, but something as simple as categories, bullet listings, would maybe make that more likely?
The current system just seems to bury things quickly.
