Google is probably your best answer overall because it will search the official Database, as well as mailing lists (like this one) and the susefaq and way more sources than a single database.
Sharpen your google skills and you have the best of all the rest.
Google searches have a poor signal-to-noise ratio. For instance, I often find questions similar to mine, but no answer to the question. And list posts in general have lots of extraneous text, unlike the articles in SuSE SDB, which is my model of what a database should look like.
I should also mention Togan's unofficial SuSE FAQ. It's a marvelous resource and a noble contribution to the community, but it still doesn't serve the purpose of the database I'm suggesting. First, Togan would have to vet the contributions and incorporate them, which would be an enormous burden on him. Second, the highly structured organization of his FAQ is complementary to, not a replacement for, the flat structure of SDB.
