From the Help Center article how toHow do I ask a good question?, emphasis mine:

Sharing your research helps everyone. Tell us what you found and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and above all, it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer!

Doing research is only half of what you need. Your question did not explain what you found and why that wasn't helpful to you.

Sharing your research can also help you in the following ways:

  • Searched using the wrong terms? If you post the search terms you used, someone can help you with better search terms.
  • Spent a half hour on a website that had your answer, but you didn't see it? Someone familiar with the website can help.
