OK the internet is great ’cause it’s full of information, and the internet sucks ’cause it’s full of information, not all of it good or what you need.

I haven’t found good online results for simple tasks like searching and replacing across multiple lines. Until I went to Google Books. Boom, there she was. (continued…)
