There's nothing to evidence that FullFact only Googled "customs union" so your subsequent criticism of FullFact is on shaky ground.
Pierre said "It was made Crystal clear prior to the referendum, that leaving the EU meant leaving the Single Market, Customs Union and ECJ jurisdiction. That was repeated over and over again and was in the famous leaflet delivered to each household. That is a fact and is unquestionable."
It certainly was not in the leaflet and certainly was not crystal clear.

You could be correct but your post doesn't help anyone to understand why.
