Google is so common that it has become a verb as well as a nooun. I, on
the other hoof, am a contrarian who regrets the demise of Alta Vista (my
first search engine). I'm considering test flying the oddly named "Duck 
Duck Go" search engine as the AI in Bing is becoming increasingly a
pain in my sit-upon.

I picked that recipe because it was the only thing in my collection that
