What I mean is, it is often quicker and easier for the user to so the search themselves, rather than wait for an answer from a mod, to a question that has already been answered a hundred times. We're here to help you, but not babysit

I'm confident all the users here can use the search function but unfortunately it's become the norm to ask a question without even searching for themselves.
In regards to the actual suggestion, thinking about it, it would save us mods time. One mod would PM the poster to point them in the right direction. At the moment, someone posts a question and 3 or 4 might respond, as well as regular members, all with the same answer. Which is slightly pointless, really. One quick PM and it could all be sorted.
