Usually, you would never need to search to six page or whatever. If you have to search past the 1st or second page, you realize a better search term to use.

In 1999, on google. I can’t remember if it was a two-word search, but it was a teenage interest of an intimate nature. I think there were about 134 or so hits for that search, perhaps five or six pages.

Six hours after I first typed those keywords and clicked “search”, I looked up from my screen and decided that was perhaps the only time ever that I’d look at _every_ search result. We were all kids once…
