I'll have to admit that even after quite some being in TMO, it's still kinda dodgy sometimes to use the search function. I'll have to do multiple versions of search items or via google and other ways in order to get to the right place (even more if the problem isn't a popular one).

I really don't blame new users for not knowing how to do it. We could just be kind enough to put up a link right after their question to direct them to the wiki. I wouldn't go as far as to search for the relevant post and post the link for them... but at least, if you feel the wiki helps, that can be done... or at least INFORM them that the wiki will help them.

If that's not happening, we could just simply ignore their questions (which generally, developers in this forum have been VERY kind even when questions are repeated) thus they'll have to search until they get used to the search functions.

Nobody needs extra spat or aggravation
