When the OP clicks on the Submit button, how about offering the message box "Would you like to google that first?"; and if the OP says yes, then take the title text from the OP's Q, and throw it at google.
[Inspired by Espen's post below.]

Sounds good too 
Tried the procedure on the question I referenced - answers where a bit off the mark, but not much.
By prefixing the title text with the tag, it became definitely usable, and by postfixing it with CodeProject - it became very good

I'm sure the idea could be improved - for example, prefix with the Q&A section name:
"C++" + "title text"
|
|
|
|

About what I meant by "Tag" - You came up with very good, and (quite likely) simple, way to implement what I looked for Hans!
This could definitely improve the quality of the Q&A section ...

Hans that is f'ing brilliant. 
Eventhough it'll mean I will have to get my rep points from another source from now on.
Usually googling what's in the title will get you half way there anyhow  .
Cheers!

Maybe CP should use Bing, not Google, so we still have a fighting chance of offering something better than is delivered automatically?

Good suggestion Hans but for new Enquirers it's like a License Agreement Checkbox.
But I vote for you.

Quite a lot of the questions in the Q&A section are answered by just googling a few keywords from the question.
How about adding a way to mark the question as googled by letting us just enter those keywords in its own input field – and do something that presents the google results in an iframe.
Answering a question this way should then be awarded something sensible, like 2, as I think we all can agree that there is a lot more work behind a “real” answer – even if it just simple hints about why a set of links provides a solution to an answer.
This text is copied from an asnwer over at Q&A:
GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE
INSERT INTO tablename ( columnname1, columnname2, columnname3 )
VALUES ( value1, value2, value3 );
Wouldn't it be better, and a bit nicer, if it was answer by something like:
Search: SQL INSERT
BTW - I did not vote on the answer

Reading your message I somehow knew who was likely to be the answer's author... It is nice to see how everybody develops a personal style. We can't throw that out of the window, can we?

Yeah, no subtlety at all. Not like this, for example:
GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE BING GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE

No - the personal touch is important. I most certainly could have quoted a number of far more offensive replies  - at least from OPs' point of view

There may be possible....somebody else has already suggested this point.....
but though i would like to suggest it here.....
I think there should be good paging options for TABS [artical,TechBlogs,Tips....] on Main page of code project.......
as we can see...on codeplex/...[1,2,3,4,5 more]..for Most DownLoaded, Popular Release etc.....
Thanks.........

This article[^] is in the "Articles" tab on the home page, however when the link is clicked it yields a page saying "This article is still being written and is not currently available for general viewing." IMO if it isn't available, it shouldn't be in the list either.

May be related to this - this article[^] appeared just now, but it didn't go through the moderation queue (at least I think not, or people would have pointed out the obvious issues)

He is a golden Author with 18 articles already, his stuff doesn't go through moderation anymore, and that is as it should be IMO. If you see issues, just add a message and let him handle (or ignore) it. Don't tell me you see beginner's stuff there.

I see... no problem then.
Nothing like that, I meant the links were broken and the tables were hard to read (fixed both).

This question[^] was deleted (I assume, it is marked as deleted when I view it and you can't answer it). But it still shows up in the "unanswered" list. At first I thought it might be a database catch-up problem, but it's been deleted since I first saw it, and that was half an hour or so ago.

Exactly. I just came here to report the same. Tried couple of times to make sure it is happening.
Suddenly, deleted questions has appeared and is a long list! 
|
|
|
|
|
Same with this one[^]. Still showing up in the list though it has been deleted.

There is a problem trying to reply to a comment in the QA section on my Android. The image and text (green arrow and 'reply') is there in the comment to be replied to, but it seems to lack an actual a-tag. Nothing happens when pressed.
