It's not that simple Ledgem. Not to try and justify the Adobe Encore question but even knowing exact key words may prove futile to do a simple google search. There are many reasons for this, among which..
  • Disambiguation - say you're searching for PSP, how do you tell Google the difference between it and all the other stuff abbreviated to PSP.

  • Ambiguity in results - say I found something that sounds right but I'm not 100% sure what I'm really looking for here so how do I tell the authenticity of what I got.

  • Depth of field - it's true that Google pretty much has something for everything, but for some things you have to be so neck deep into the terminology/knowledge to be able to effectively search for it or otherwise Googling simply becomes a test to futility.
    • You think you need to type keyword1 and keyhole1 (good keywords) but among them you also think you need to type errorkeyword1 and errorkeyword2 which throw your results to the smelly pits of wonderland.
