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. ---

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](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21647860&postcount=32654). ---
