Searches that don't come up with quite what you want

[mrodoc]

I typed in 'how to use survex' on the search bar in Youtube. I suppose the result might be useful to female cave surveyors.

[Roger W]

Hmm,  yes.     

Another case, I fear, of Big Brother saying "I know you typed abc but I also know that you really, subconsciously meant to type xyz."

[maxf]

Apparently rocket tubes is a good one !

I was recommended a wax based chain lubricant called Squirt for my bike.
So I Googled Squirt.....

[RobinGriffiths]

Excercise extreme caution if googling 'glory hole' in relation to mining or quarrying. Always qualify with 'mining' or 'quarry'.

Possibly more useful to male cave surveyors.

[PeteHall]

Why, oh why, did I think it was a good idea to try putting these into Google?!? 

[ZombieCake]

Google does occasionally learn.  If you are looking for free decent image processing software, as opposed to renting stuff from adobe until the subscription runs out, it returns:

GIMP - GNU Image Manipulation Program

As opposed to the somewhat odd aspects covered in Pulp Fiction.

[PeteHall]

Yes, GIMP is pretty good. Fortunately we have it on our software portal at work, so I've not had to search for that!

[benshannon]

Hahahaha this is brilliant. 😂😂😂
I once squashed my wedding ring when in my workshop so I decided to fix it myself and had a tool in mind.

Do not Google ring stretcher

😂😂😂

My daughter-in-law once entered "pearl necklace" in to search. Some years ago I was told about an enthusiastic female secondary school teacher who had just returned from a computer course and, surrounded by students, typed in "corporal punishment".

[oldfart]

I one googled Gaping Gill. Gill was a very interesting girl.

You haven't been a GP. You would surprised how many people of either sex are ignorant of their anatomy.

[mrodoc]

The comment that Google learns is true. The first time I tried to buy plug and feathers I went through a page or two of entirely irrelevant specialised erotic toys. I finally found what I wanted and the next time I Googled plug and feathers up came a series of masonry sites.

[PeteHall]

Google does learn, so I'd be very worried if a caver turned up anything inappropriate from 'Gaping Gill' for example! 

I always try to add some context to a search for example if I put in 'BCA' I always put in 'BCA cave' or 'plug and features rock splitting '

[Mrs Trellis]

Googling "huge cocks" is very disappointing. Once you've seen one chicken you've seen them all.

Och, it was about twenty years ago and I think the search engine was called Northern Light or something.

I haven't been a GP, but I wouldn't be surprised, having retrieved a split condom at 5am from the forefield - more than once. They're not what they used to be. Luckily I'm quite dextrous.

So there was I, thinking that I’d brighten up my Covid-blighted existence by typing in ‘how to use Survex’ into Duck-Duck-Go; what did I get but:

CUCC Expedition Handbook: Programmers manual - Survex

[Pegasus]

My Aunt who bred champion Cavalier King Charles spaniels once googled 'bitches'....

I did my search on Youtube.

And then of course theres teabagging.

Cavalry soldiers were (maybe still are?) also a dab hand with the old ginger root for presentational excellence in mounted parades, naturally called 'gingering' - or in French 'feauging', which anglicised is 'figging'. The rest you can look up.

I always knew this info would come in handy one day - knowledge is power

[RobinGriffiths]

Also be careful if researching old style vessels on Ohio rivers.

Tarmacing always makes me smirk

You beat me to it - sadly...just as I searched for said item (for underwater transport of things I like to keep dry) my wife walked by, looked at the screen asked what I was doing, shook her head and then carried on...
