If you just do a Google search without specifying what distro you are using the first hits you get will often be for the original documentation from the devs. Upstream documentation necessarily assumes the software is being built from source when no official binaries are distributed (i.e. frequently).
If you can't easily find documentation tailored to your particular system it's the distro's fault.
