The vast majority of visits to SO are by people who don't even have an account. They're not asking questions themselves.

They may not be authors of the question on SO, but to find that question you need to search for it, and it is not uncommon that doing so takes more than one research/thread parsing. In the end, finding the relevant SO answer is not unlike asking a good question in the first place.

If the question is more complex than "how do you do a parameterized query with ActiveRecord?" it's unlikely autocomplete is doing it for you either.
