This is a very long-standing problem that Stack Overflow has had so it's good to see them taking it seriously (regardless of whatever the underlying motivations may be).

How long-standing you may ask? Here's my answer from _2010_ to https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/481/whats-the-singl...

I feel sorry for the poor n00bs who come here thinking it's awesome, ask a seemingly innocent question, and then get shouted/voted down for asking a dupe and not searching properly before they asked. And yes, I said 'shouted down', because despite what a lot of experienced users many think, that's what it'd feel like for a new user who's unfamiliar with the S/OFU culture.
