I generally tell people to use the resources at the project web site
when it is a cygwin question.  I don't recall telling people to read
documentation elsewhere -- quite the contrary I've frequently asked
people to contribute documentation improvements here.

However, if you want to use google, then, as long as you are vaguely
remembering what has been said, let me refresh your memory: Add a
site:cygwin.com to the search term.
