Whether it's bad manners or not, there are times where you need a little 
mental push to remember what keywords you need to search for.  Google's 
searches with too vague of a set of keywords are worse than useless, with 
thousands of hits that aren't useful.

What's wrong with asking for a reminder for perhaps the keywords to search 
for?

And what's wrong with sending a 'for future reference' reply privately?
