          When I do some research (not for coding issues) I always read all the links in the first 5(!) pages - it's for gathering info as wide as possible... But when I'm looking for something specific - first page only!

          I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

                At the risk of dating myself, I remember when the amazing thing wasn't going to the second page of results because the first was useless, but being able to stop on the second page because you'd found a relevant page that soon. :laugh:

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                    It's only when you get to the second or third page that you get past the paid advertisers. Dave.

                        Probably yes. But it likely can't find Google - it never found anything useful for me, which is why I stopped using it! :laugh:
