I do understand where you are coming from though, being that there is a big difference between saying "Where can I find X & Y?", versus "I found X & Y, check this out."
People will generally stop once they've found the answer they are looking for, I wouldn't expect someone to come back to the forum with what they've found, also this is the Question & Answer forum:

"Question & Answer Ask a question, get an answer! Try to keep it firearm related."

I guess I don't consider 'use google' a useful answer in most cases, only in the completely braindead ones like "What's Glock's website".

By telling people who come here to "use google" we're basically saying "We don't have the information you need or we don't want to give it to you" which in turn makes people go "Well why am I wasting my time here then?" which defeats the entire purpose of the forum.
