You can do that, I can do that; quite a lot of people reading this

<rant>But a lot wanting to use OOo have probably never even heard of 
google; to a lot a search engine is a dark mystery like so much of 
the arcana associated with computer use. They don't want to know, 
they don't need to know, they just want to use a properly configured 
WP, and there's no earthly reason the problem should be made harder 
than it need be.</rant>
