FWIW, Internet searches don't necessarily yield  correct information.  A
lot of it depends on the subject you're  searching, the way you spell,
and even the order of the words in the search  argument.  A number of
years ago I searched for several hours trying to  find some details about
Gutenberg's invention of movable type.  I got  thousands of results, but
most of the sites were class projects posted on the  Internet by sixth
graders -- literally.  That's not exactly reliable  information.  

There also is the problem that not all characters are  recognized in a
search argument.  While searching for a source for  throttle casing nuts
a couple of weeks ago, the argument for a "#14-18 tap"  got converted
into "1/4-18 tap".  That's not exactly the same  thing.
