Subject: RE: BS: Why don't people use Search Engines?

Depends on how the question is written.
If I see "Does anyone have the lyrics to 'X';
and 'X' is in the DT I will point them towards the DT.

Now if they actually mean "Does anyone have the lyrics to the version of 'X' sung by Myron Goldblat in the movie 'three virgins naked in the wind'?" it certainly helps if they say so.
Like wise, if the question is as I give in my first example above, it is not unreasonable to NOT realize that the actual question is "Does anyone have a bunch of different variants on this?"
