Well, I think you're either very unlucky, or your
choice of search engine is seriously flawed.
I typed "pstricks manual" into Google, and the
first hit was :

	http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~ltex/pstricks/

of which the first few lines read

Parts 1 to 4 contain hyperlinks to

	http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~ltex/pstricks/pst-usr1.ps

		<etc>

which after distilling gives me a perfectly usable PDF version
of the manual ...
