Comment on Why does searching Google for random hex lead to car dealers? [video]parent

There was at one time a kind of game where you tried to find a search term that would return only say 3 results. It was hard, but some did get found.

Having said that I have recently had some kind of "nothing found" result on several occasions. So it still happens.

--edit--

In fact I just tried "ca7112b7167c15e621412c0fbc0a6c9" (omitting the last digit to avoid HN) and got:

Your search - "ca7112b7167c15e621412c0fbc0a6c9" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

Make sure that all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords.

Google-Whack as I knew it.

Where you tried to find only a search with one result.
