You can find the literal, but, you have to be very specific.
I suspect that those who pay the most, feature higher up the list. In the old days, if you Googled a question, you almost always got the answer in the first sentence of the 'results' but now you have to trawl through websites of pure celeb crap only to find that it doesn't give you the answer after all.

I know what you mean, I often search for stocking-clad amateurs and get those bloody Morris dancers.

Re: Google

If you want to find information about Virgin Media be sure to type in the whole name and not just 'Virgin'.

I use Startpage or DuckDuckGo as search engines. Search results are pretty much to the point with those.

I occasionally use Google if the information needed doesn't come up on those search engines. True that it can give many unwanted results but also come up with a few useful ones that the others didn't list.
