It's always worth once in a while trying to do something without using the web, use the man pages, readme's...local documentation to work out the answer. I say that as today people grow up with information on tap and the ability to use search engines well is and has become in many area's, more key than the ability to do the job. As the ability to adapt, get the job done is always bankable as it's the end results. Also over time, you remember all that google and build up a set of skills that you tap into your memory and not extended memory as search engines have become.
I say all this as somebody who grew up without the internet, let alone computers in homes so primarily developed the skills to self learn from the local information and more so, the ability to work it out myself. With the internet, you save reinventing the wheel as you can look up what wheel you need and where. But the ability to build a wheel is always a skill you should hone every once and a while. After all 5 9's SLA's is still moments when you won't have internets.
That all said, I'm pondering analysing my browser history more, be educational. Certainly worth doing just for your job reviews to justify what training you would benefit from the most.
