    That's getting pretty desperate - find anything useful? :laugh:

        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.

                  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:
