If in your question you state something like "I looked on tahiti and all I could find was this" or "I tried this and this and it isn't working" I am inclined to help.

If you think your efficiency can be improved by having me do your work for you ... you will likely end up with either no reply or one intended to motivate you to do better next time. I am not here to help those who are not sufficiently motivated to try and help themselves.
