I was gonna say, the freaky accuracy can't be a function of my profile, because I've looked up zillions of things for stuff I've edited that I have zero personal interest in. And like you, for commenting on Web forums.

Not to mention how it helps with aging memory! And the search algorithms keep getting better and better; I'm constantly feeling as though they're reading my mind when I start typing in a word or two and instantly get what I'm looking for even though there are multiple possible topic headings containing those same words. I used to sweat creating perfect Boolean search strings, but it almost doesn't matter any more. Just type in a few words--even just related words--in any old order, never mind quotes to enclose a phrase or pluses to separate words or phrases, and you're still more than likely to come up with relevant hits.
