The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
lmgtfy.com
A somewhat sarcastic web service that animates the
action of searching on Google.
Instead of displaying the search results, the site creates a
self-referential URL like
(http://lmgtfy.com/?q=GIYF)
that takes you to a page showing an animation of the actions of
clicking in the Google search box, entering some text and clicking
the submit button. It then takes you to the results on Google.
The link is intended be sent to in answer to a question that could
easily have been answered by Google. It is a more polite, if
long-winded, way of saying JFGI or STFW.
In the belief that it is better to teach a man to fish than to
give him a fish, the service helps the recipient to help himself
while succinctly conveying the message that he is too stupid to
use Google.
