If you are in a thread about a specific topic, likely filled with people knowing what they are talking about, asking there is only natural. It's quick, prevent you from learning the wrong information by looking it up wrong, filter the essential... And last but not least, the answer will be added to the thread, allowing the next readers to find it in the right context, including search engine bots.
This is as close as it gets to a win-win.

But, is it also natural and a win-win situation if your exact question is answered multiple times upthread? Shouldn't you use your browser's search function to see if it's not answered already before posting the question?
- sametmax 9y agoYeah that's fair.
