I've noticed a preponderance of fic requests these days, wherein someone
claims to have searched "everywhere", yet the instant I go and search for
whatever it is they're looking for, it turns up immediately.
Contrary to my most fervent desires, I have no magical powers.
Thus I've come to the conclusion that "everywhere" is not quite so big as
it used to be.
I'd like to point out, in case you've been asleep since 1998, the
existance of an absolutely amazing search engine called "Google".
It is really quite easy to use.
Open up your web browser, be it Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or
something else.
Find the "address bar", and enter into it the URL "http://www.google.com/"
Then find the text entry box right above the "Google Search" button. Type
in what you're looking for. In this case "red eyes white fangs". Click on
the "Google Search" button.
Then read the list of results which pop up in your browser.
If you were, hypothetically, to execute the above search, then you would
find that Google claims to know where this exact fic is. Sadly, when you
click on the link, Yahoo tells us that the web page is no longer there. :(
This happens occasionally, but Google has planned ahead!
Indeed, Google retained a copy of the web page in question. So, hit your
back button, and return to the list of results from Google. Underneath the
link to the website (which didn't work), is a link called "Cached". Google
has amazingly kept a copy of the web page!
So, there you go. Now you know how to use a search engine, welcome to 1995!
