Google as an application navigation system

I was trying to figure out how to make the fonts in Firefox look less ugly today - and failing. But while failing, I realised that I no longer even bother with trying to figure out how an application lays out its configuration dialogs. I make a cursory attempt in the location I think is most likely, and if I don't find it I use Google. If I hit the right search terms, I have the exact location of the option I need.

This happens so frequently that it wouldn't surprise me if applications started leveraging this somehow. A builtin help system backed by Google?
