Apparently Google knows everything.

GandTea I did get the joke, I was just having a problem with Amazon at the time ?

WMKF, I realised your post was a joke, it was Tizliz I was answering.

GandTea it was a joke!

ruby good luck with St Anthony and Dr Mattress!

Ask St. Anthony, not Google for lost items. I've lost a huge sheet of tarpaulin somewhere. My laptop keeps going onto Bing which is painful. Got backache and feel rough but not asking Dr. Google, just going to go to bed and ask Dr. Mattress to sort it out.

err, you don't need a password for Google search engine.

Then when you enter a new password it will tell you you can't use one you have used before even though it has just told you it was wrong, so why couldn't I get in with it. [headbanging icon]

GandTea and kitty Google knows where they are, but you need the password before it will tell you.

You could try my method. Been hunting over an hour for the strimmer blades we have somewhere, gave up and ordered some more on eBay. The missing ones will turn up now.

If only it was that simple! So, if I ask Doogle where I left the C*******s cards I bought in the sale, will it have worked it out by then?

There what did I say "The first place to look is where you last left it"

Kitty, I'm sure if you asked, Eventually it would have suggested the right place. Typewriter + monkeys = Shakespeare etc.

I still don't think it would have found DGS'S top which was on one of the dining chairs and therefore hidden by the table. As we rarely eat in the dining room, it could have stayed there till Christmas!

My DD suffers from health anxiety and Dr Google is a nightmare...She promises she won't look up her symptoms but can't resist a peek, and is then reduced to a nervous wreck.

Google finds it - so long as you know what it's called!

I love Google. daughte's bathroom basin running only hot water the other evening (there have been lots of issues with new boiler being attached to old pipes)I googled. It told me to put thumb over outlet (to stop water coming out-it did say helpfully to use a cloth if the water was very hot! ). turn on cold then hot Eh voila ! It forces air up the cold water outlet apparently.What I love is you can type in 'what do I do if.....'and it will find it
Bit like Wikipedia though .Garbage in,garbage out .

Much easier to get an appointment with Dr Google! ?

My GP used Google when I had what he termed a "funny turn" AND he found what he thought it was, TGA.

Google is my best friend. Whatever I want to know - there it is.

I use Google instead of my GP. ?

So right Thingmajig but don't forget eBay.

My GP hates Dr Google but I visit him all the time

Google knows everything, and Amazon sells everything!!!

GandTea my browser comes with about 5 search engines, some are on your list. Microsoft just can't get Bing up there with Google. Lycos used to be good. I mainly used AltaVista and Ask (Jeeves) before Google came along. Every now and then I give DuckDuckGo a try, but end up going back to Google. Choices, choices.

ah the innocence of childhood, if only it could.

Thought I'd try Lycos, haven't used it for years --- now I know why, back to Google.

There still are other search engines, it's just that Google have become rather good at what they do.
But don't forget, Google knows nothing other than where to find the information you search for. Always remember that anyone can post web site etc with information that may or may nor be inaccurate or just plain miss-leading or fraudulent. Much of it is very useful, but beware.
