1. When I go to the PerlMonks FAQ and enter "notif" in the search box, I get results (including) I want to ask a question of the Perl Monks. Where do I start? and How do I post a question effectively?, both of which articles address this topic.

2. Did you try just entering "OP" in the search box? Also, when search the FAQ for "acronyms", I find Guide to PerlMonks Acronyms and Abbreviations.
