Default Isn't google wonderful!

Stuck hard with my invisible man, I was googling ever wider. It paid off - I found him on a site translated from the Vietnamese, lol. He was a professional footballer, it told me. I checked, he was.

The mystery is why that fact was on a Vietnamese site but nowhere else.

That's amazing, OC. However, I seem to be finding that Google thinks it knows better than I do what I want, and the answer I used to be able to find on the fifth or sixth page of scrollig no longer seems to be there at all.

Yes, I agree, because once I'd found him I googled again and there he was in English. Odd. Google has also started doing AI offerings, which I don't want.
