for posterity …
dear future generations, google search used to be so good that you could find primary or secondary source information quickly and reliably with a modicum of effort. failure to exert this teensy bit of effort to poke at something that needed an answer which could reasonably be expected to be found online would be met with snark and some level of disposable derision.
“let me google that for you” (online, LMGTFY) was often the snark of choice.
search has degraded to the point where this is no longer a reasonable assumption you can place upon someone and folks can be forgiven for not coming to source material quickly.
