          Just FYI - Startpage is also using Google’s search index, so you’re kind of also “googling”.

        Thank you kindly for the links, I was just about to search for the Manchester Bombing, if I’m being honest I thought “The Troubles” was the name of a book or movie. I didn’t realize they gave such a non-chillant name to such a bloody conflict. Suddenly the meme makes sense though!

        Thanks again!

        What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
        Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing?

          Well, I am still under the - maybe naive - impression that people understand context.

          If one user writes about “The Troubles” (capitalised), and another mentions “the Manchester blast”, my expectation was that a person is able to put 2 and 2 together and google “The Troubles Manchester blast” at the very least.
