Because then they hopefully learn how to use the search for themselves.

If someone asks for help doing something on a computer, isn't it better to tell them how to do it than to just do it for them? If you just do it for them, then they don't learn anything. But, if you tell them the steps to do, then after a while they learn how to do it themselves.

Oh, I also post the search stuff because not everyone gives all the specifics of what they want - like version or required options. If I just post a link, then often I get told "but I'm on version 3.6 and that is for 3.7" or "but I need it to also do *this*". If they do the search themselves, then they can go through the threads and find the one that is right for them.
