Default googleaphobia

Just wondering why so many people seem to have a fear of typing www.google.com in to their browser address bar and putting their question there before posting it to SN?

It's about car stickers, if you want a more specific hit, ask a more specific question!!

Maybe we should have a SN master class in the use of booleans in search engine key word searches.

I do take your point, but what I find strange is:

I don't know why people can't just answer the question if they know or ignore it if they don't. Does nobody remember being a newbie on here and being directed to Google or "search"?

Funnily enough - all of those had been preceeded by a search on google at least. I do admit the search on here is pants.

Maybe you'd also like to do a bit of digging and see how many questions I have answered huh? Being a newbie on here is irrelevant, unless you are an internet newbie as well.

Simple solution - press the back button, and let helpful people help the person who can't find a satisfactory to what they want. Maybe they are also after a bit of an opinion on the matter too.

It is a way of expanding one's pool of information but still "talking" to "real" people.
Imho and caveat emptor.
