I can see where some people run into problems trying to google things. There have been a few times I simply couldn’t find what I was looking for because it kept bringing up related things that weren’t right. Like most dopers I’m often asking some pretty nitpicky questions and google may be too blunt as instruments go unless you hit upon the perfect set of terms, and a large number of combinations of synonyms may exist. So the “perps” of the OP may give up out of sheer frustration, stop googling anything, let someone else find it for them.
There are some mighty intelligent people in SDMB but I’ve wandered into a thread and googled the answer first time. I just hit on the right terms or maybe it takes a fresh pair of eyes.
Some of the conspiracy theories they’re willing to swallow in there…yep, some are quite content to let others do their thinking for them.
Awhile back I started a thread about not being able to find things. Sometimes the problem is “mis-remembering” details.
