Totally agree, the usability of having a link that says "Add Question" to the right of the "Find" box, with no other button still makes me think I might accidentally be asking a question whenever I search. The only way to get search results is to actually select something out of the autocomplete list.

I rejected using Quora twice before I finally saw an explanation of how to search there.

I rarely want to ask questions, I often want to search. They've flipped the priority of those two things in the UI.

I thought the search field was the input field for the 'Add Question' button too. I finally found out when complaining in IRC that Quora didn't have a search.
