No, google isn't supposed to do that, and doesn't do that -- google is no 
alternative for user support.

I think you're overestimating the automation, askbot doesn't do scripted 
question and answer (though that would be very useful as well) -- but in the 
end, the problem isn't that a potential ask.krita.org might give a misleading 
answer, but that the user doesn't get an answer at all because too much of the 
support load falls on too few shoulders.
