Caveat: that only applies if it's obvious, without hindsight, that you 
can easily find out by searching. So, when there's an obvious, fairly 
specific search to use, that one can expect will produce only relevant 
results. Not if all you have to go on is three letters, say, or if 
someone says "mugwumps" and a search for "mugwumps" wouldn't tell you 
much (perhaps because there's six or seven different things called 
"mugwumps" rather than just one), and though a search for "cloverfish" 
would, someone who didn't already know this stuff would have no reason to 
think to search for "cloverfish" to find out about "mugwumps".
