I tried a North of the Border 'email dinna work' which gave the response 'no matches found'.

More seriously, a simple 'email' gave a large number of hits. So it would seem that if you try to refine your query, it will simply give up rather than giving the default result on 'email in this example. So, again, the wrong choice of words could prevent the database from giving you a lead to a possible solution.

I also tried 'email problems', but the titles of the 4 hits didn't seem to have any connection to email problems - one of them was 'Online Gaming'.

I suspect that I could go on and on finding problems, but why bother.

We want Google!
