+1 on this.

Given an error message I can probably find the relevant manual
section from the vendor faster with a google search than looking
for my local copy of the same document. It will probably search
the vendor forums quicker than going there manually too.

Google is a tool like all the other tools we have and I would be
very careful about consigning the use of it to something worthless
because, what - everyone can do it ? The art of well constructed
searches and keyword selection is a skill. Think cars; there are
many people who have passed a driving test. There certainly
don't seem to be many good drivers.

FWIW.
