There's nothing wrong with asking if you couldn't work out something
despite looking at the archives and the documentation (even if the
answer is there). There *is* something wrong if you didn't even try
...
A good idea is also to tell people that you tried, and, more
importantly, what you got. Mentioning the search terms you used could
also be useful, because while the pros may think of the right search
term naturally, it may just be that you picked an unlucky word to
google for.
That's how I think about it anyway.
