Can method names begin with Get in.NET?

Question

I came across a recent audit report in our company for the code that we support, which says that we should not use Get in a method (not a property) called GetSearchResults or GetXyzInformation. I looked at MS Recommendations ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4df752aw(VS.71).aspx ) for the name of the method and according to the fact that Get is allowed, so what you think about it, can we have it or not from a standard point of view, if not why?

Additional information
I am adding more information after the first set of answers, the methods that I have in mind are the kind that is associated with interacting with the database, so the properties of the properties are not ideal.
