If people try "to find the specific help" but they do not click a menu
item in that application which is surprisingly called "Help", then I
don't know what else we should do. We cannot force people to read.

We cannot fix the order in which things are shown on random third-party
websites, plus I see no point at all in linking to some mailing list,
because most people don't understand where to bring up what and the
difference between support vs feature request/bug report.

So I just opened google.com, not logged in, in Firefox 83 (but I might
have some cookies there) and in latest Tor browser (ending up with a
Dutch relay, so I switched the language to English). In both cases the
very first link goes to the GNOME Evolution help. See attachments.

Again: If people don't find or click that very first link in the search
results, then I don't know what else to do. Can't force people to read.

Cheers,
