This is probably common knowledge and I'm just slow on the uptake, but to demonstrate Google's efficiency, go to www.google.co.uk , type in "failure" and hit the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button.

That's what you want - a search engine that gets right to the point!!!

Disclaimer - I request no-one takes this thread in any way other than intended: for laughs!

Unfortunately, on the other side, if you put *** in google.co.uk and click I'm feeling lucky, you get something else

Don't you suppose the nerds who programmed the site did that on purpose?

Don't you suppose the nerds who programmed the site did that on purpose?No, it's the result of Google's rating system. There was a campaign among webmasters and bloggers to link to that page using the words "miserable failure".

Searching for failure? Try George W. Bush (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/09/google_bush_search/)

The other one to try (assuming it still works) is "French Military Victories"

Edit: It still works... read it carefully

I typed in 'Physics' in the google search thing and came across the article on how Tommy Lee enjoys Physics. http://www.physicscentral.com/people/index.html
