I’m testing to see how quickly google can find a post on the SDMB.
porcupine Honda pickle tomorrow
Clever idea! FWIW, no hits as of this post…
gasp My password!
I could have sworn that yours was “porcupine Honda pickle yesterday”
gasp My wife’s password!
Nothing yet.
Still not there.
Similar experiments in 2010:

Looks like it’s there now.
Interesting. It seems to be taking longer than it used to.
Was it not there at all, or was it just buried under mountains of garbage hits, and only slowly working its way to the top? When I search for those four words, I get 400,000 hits, and I’m sure not combing through all of them.
If you wrapped it in quotes, it didn’t show up until this morning.
This seemed fun, so I decided to try the search. google.co.uk found your post as well. Even more fun is that it identified the four words as lyrics.
porcupine Honda pickle tomorrow
these are the things that cause my sorrow
alligator turnip granite soy
things distant past that caused me joy
Alabama cabernet pirate sink
these are the things that make me drink
A few more lines and we’ll have a follow-up song to “A Horse with No Name.”
Occasionally I’ve used Google to try and find posts, but usually without success. For example, yesterday I used Google to try and find a post I made that contained the word “swatches”. Google brings no results for this word from this site in the past year. I made the post using the word a month ago.
Whereas if you wrapped in bacon you get 238,000 hits.
This is a test post, Mr. BT.

It’s taking longer than we thought.
