RE: Using the verb to do for inquiry in English. Generally the verb to do is
incorporporaded in the question process. Of course there are acceptions.
They include the verb to be which does not use to do in interrogation.
example: Are you happy?
You would never say : Do you be happy?
The used to to do in questions is option with the verb to have.
Have you any money?
Do you have any money?
Anybody know? is very informal, but you may hear it in daily speech.
Does anybody know? is the most gramatically correct way of saying it.
