P.S. everyone says the forums are shutting down, why and when??

Ok, boy dont i feel like an idiot, thank you very much, LOL
Yup! there it is right in the middle of everything LOL

Welcome to Second Life, Tekin! The "Search" button at the bottom of your screen will bring up the Search Dialog/Palette.

Within this dialog you will find a number of tabs, the first one allowing you to search for anything. Separate tabs let you focus on topics: Classifieds will search for resident-created advertising such as businesses; Places will search parcel (land) descriptions where the owner chose to advertise (this option requires a weekly fixed fee); Events will search event listings created through the http://secondlife.com interface.

As for finding games, choose "game" on the all, classifieds or places tabs. For businesses, choose the type of product you are searching for. Most residents try to list a number of keywords to cober the bulk of search terms.

Good luck!

As for the Forums closure (which is not complete, just areas like this one) see:
