Often, the person telling you to do a search has the manual or the web page 
with the information you need open, and is looking at it as he or she types. 
These replies mean that he thinks (a) the information you need is easy to find, 
and (b) you will learn more if you seek out the information than if you have it 
spoon-fed to you.

You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, your respondent is 
showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You should 
instead be thankful for this grandmotherly kindness."

Made me smile :)
