Search engines have programs called spiders that go out onto the web and bring back website addresses. When a person does a search using a search engine, the only results that can be offered are the addresses the search engine has collected. Also, the only results that be offered are based on how the search engine interpreted the search words a person chose to use. Since all search engines have varying results, a "No results found." notice in response to a search from one search engine does not mean there would no results in other search engines.
Two truths of search engines?
1. Search engines only give what they got.
2. Search engines only give what they think you want.
This applies to my garage! It only gives me what it's got inside it. Unfortunately, when I'm searching for stuff in my garage, it will only present to me what it thinks I'm looking for. Of course, this second bit is kind of my own issue since I can think I'm looking for a blue box with a circle on it and when I finally find it, the box was actually green and had a square image on the lid!
