    Yeah, I second the "good searching skills" vote. My rule of thumb is that if I'm trying to find something and it takes longer than 2 hours, it isn't really available on the Internet. Most things take less than 15 minutes, obscure things less than 45.

    For those who aren't good at finding things the following are some good tips:
    1. A good vocabulary / thesarus is very handy (which rules out half of /. already).
    2. Good and bad spelling is important. Just because you can / can't spell a word, doesn't mean that everyone else can / can't.
    3. Word order can be important, too (even on engines that say it isn't).
    4. While I rarely use operators (AND, OR, -, etc.), knowing them is good for that hard to find query.
    5. Quotes around multiple words are more important that the operators. It means that the words have to appear together and in that order.
    6. My engine of choice is Google, but targeted engines might get you better results.
