h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

An universal law applying to internet, is that if you really want to find something, you can search the web with every thinkable -and non-thinkable question or combination of words, but the only thing you'll find is something completely different and very often not even related to whatever you're after.

Or is this just me being unlucky?

You're perfectly right. And then after that subject is done and dusted, a few weeks later you'll need to search for something else, and the results will show a perfect set of pages for what you previously wanted to know about.

Its called multi tasked searches. How do you think I found h2g2?

And when you do find a page that seems to be exactly what you're looking for, it inevitably results in a "404 Page Not Found" error.
