There's an Instructable on this, people are just as dis-inclined as you are to use a search function, because they think you're lazy.

I spend a lot of time at work telling people they need to give clear messages and think about how other people read them...
If you ask well-worded questions (and maybe add a picture) you do tend to get answers.

You may have to provide more information for your questions and also remember that noone is in any way obligated to answer your questions. People volunteer their time and knowledge altruistically without any compesation.

(which is probably the top item in the Related box to the right of this screen).

People answer those questions they ...

... find interesting.

... are able to answer.

... need more than a simple google to answer.

(There you go; now exactly half of your questions have an answer.)
