Maybe there is a way to help them to find the answer to their questions. If we could catalog or unite all the search tools in just one place, we could put it in the search tool main page of ubuntu.com.
Just simple as google, write eg.: "wifi error/issue" (and not just "wifi" displaying thousand pages related to wifi and nothing near "error/issue") them all the pages related to those words appear in the screen. It´s something simple to realize, but maybe it´s difficult to achieve. I saw that main page help.ubuntu.com doesn´t have any search box. People use google to find their answer in a search box, why do they need to find their answer looking into all the pages of the Ubuntu documentation instead of just write the words in a simple search box?
