One problem with this approach is it requires a change in user behavior. Unless Visual Studio can get a developer to an answer every single time, it may not be sticky enough to form a habit.
Google search reliably produces an answer each time, regardless of what the question or problem is
This is why search is very sticky (and habit forming). MSDN (and even Stackoverflow or Github) suffer from this problem because they only have a subset of content that developers want/need. Google brings all these sources together into a single search.
