Absolutely.  Using web searches for software documentation is an
awkward and error-prone crutch that should be avoided for many
reasons.  For OpenBSD documentation, it is never needed.

If careful scrutiny of an OpenBSD manual page leaves the impression
that information may be missing from the page, asking on misc@ is
a good idea and often results in an improvement of the manual page.

Only for low-quality software, searching the web may occasionally
be needed.

Yours,
  Ingo
