Ah, finally someone besides me who had an example with an address not starting with the letter ‘p.’

ETA: of my top three, the number of them I get by entering terms into the address bar as a search is zero.

All of them are reached as links on my bookmarks bar, using Google Chrome.

is the first suggestion in the URL bar. :eek: :o

On this box the first p entry is the url of a law firm I deal with occasionally that I happened to hit just recently.

Below that is Pinterest, Pandora, & [people.com](http://people.com). Which is interesting because I’ve never knowingly been to any of those sites. Don’t use them, don’t even exactly know what they do. Why are they there? Scientists baffled.

Q’s list is equally mysterious.

Although I recognize everything that comes up under m, n, o & r, s, t. Color me confused.

Mighty small list in the poll.

I get my local library district, which oddly enough happens to begin with “P.”
