Its not cheating for exactly that reason... as long as you know what your job requires you to know, then great. I doubt your employer cares how you learned it. No amount of information we tell you will change that.
You are absolutely correct about that. I spent the past 20+ years programming and quite a bit over the last couple years was searching the net for answers to job related questions. And my supervisor(s) WANTED me to do that You turn a one-programmer shop into a million-programmer shop for free by doing that.
