<upd_detl>Google gets 3m+. I guess that you may say that it is obvious, but then so are so many things to the one who knows.

I thought that you may include it because it would be comparable to the following entries:-

どうかした; どうかして (exp) by mere chance; by some chance; somehow or other; in some way 
どうかしたのか; どうかしたのですか; どうかしたんですか (exp) is something up?; is something wrong?</upd_detl>
