I expect that using a web search engine such as the one that is one of

To what search engine do you refer?
The one with the goggles - "We are watching you and your searches and
wherever you go on the Web". The Goggle Borg...
For a less sinister web search engine, is duckduckgo, which includes in
its results,

As a person who has been around computers since the original difference
engine (from the time of analogue computers, which preceded digital
computers, and were used for solving differential equations, I believe),
I had expected that you would have known of web search engines and how
to use them. I am not sure whether archie and gopher are still in use.
