      Not refusing, just making efficient use of time available (I am supposed to be doing some work for the client ).

      So rather than trawl through the google results, I appreciate people doing the pre-filtering as WTFH has done further up.

      One day someone will index the internet properly so there is a defacto set of links in best, 2nd best,.., order on any given subject, and not ordered by the motivations of the search engine (to sell ads or drive traffic to their preferred choices). Not sure how the order would be decided, maybe public vote where one person has one vote on such matters.

      Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

        Which is fine if someone does it for you, or you are so good you know all the answers.

        Always amuses me when someone says they do not know something, which then takes 10 seconds to find

          Or it can't be found as it's not on the first page of results so therefore doesn't exist.

            Sounds like your descriptive search terms are poor

              Not to be confused with 'goatse'. DO NOT GOOGLE IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW, NSFW.

              Though to bring this back on topic, that may be a good image to send to any pests expecting free consultancy. That or a rickroll.

                Nope, just like it's a fact that the world is indeed flat, there is only ever one page of search results. Whole search engine optimisation industry built because of that fact.

                  Well of course, that why I mentioned search terms, i.e. amending or enhancing the original brings different search results.
