I have to say that for a company whose bread and butter is search, I can't understand why searching a pile of Google seems to be so broken.
Google: I'm staring at the file yet your search seems not to think it exists.

I think the head search engineer is leaving the company. No search engineer, no search.

On Android, if you use the default messaging application you can't search through your text messages... you would think somebody at Google would have though, "maybe we should make all these messages searchable", novel concept.

Which phone and which version of Android?
I've got a $59 xperia e1 with Android 4.4.2 and it searches just fine, refining the live results with each additional character added to the input box.

Nexus, so latest and greatest version of Android.
What search are you talking about? ...I'm referring to searching through your text messages.
|
|
|
|
|
Ooh, that's a bit of a disappointment.
Yeah, same. While I'm in messages (with no conversations open), I just open the menu and select search.
Search isn't an option if I've got one open, i.e you search all conversations with everyone anytime you search for anything.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that option doesn't exist in their messaging app in the latest Android versions.

All it takes is one f-wit to do something stupid...
Back when I commuted I did it by motorcycle, and it would take about an hour each way. But every month (at least) some moron would look up from his newspaper to realise he was supposed to be driving and my journey would double.
If I'd done it by car, that would have been 2 hours doubled to 4!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I have the pleasure of driving on Southern California's freeway system - aka Gridlock.
Never a day passes when I drive by some woman putting on makeup or some guy texting.
Never ceases to amaze me.

The worst I saw in England was a people carrier, laptop open on the dashboard, typing away and steering with his elbows. At 60 ~ 70 mph...

I saw a lorry leaving our place a few years ago, the driver was on the phone with one hand, holding a cup of tea with his other, and steering with his elbows as he pulled out into traffic.

Or that Dutch lorry on the autobahn where the driver was playing a guitar!

It's difficult for me to say "the worst I saw", because everyone here is the worst. But a notable one was a Mercedes, speeding, at night, with the driver watching TV. There was an actual TV on the dashboard. He was all over the road from shoulder to shoulder. Ran me off the road. Not a care in the world.

How dare they!
I've always found driving your car into another object, wrecking your car (and the other object), and hurting yourself and your passengers (and possibly others) to be a very selfish act.
Did they at least die so they can't do it again?

It was gone by the time I passed - but the damage was done

Most people just use the toilet. 
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

I live 16 miles from where I work, at times it can take an hour.
Next month I start my new job, it will be 40 something miles from my home, I'm hoping that it will still take about an hour, no more than an hour and a half, if things go very badly, and I do have to cross the M42 (very busy motorway) so the possibility is always there, I hate to think how long it could take.

I feel your pain. I frequently commute on the 101/405. Wednesday I have to go past downtown - I'm allowing 2.5 hours for the journey.

 Terrible. Just terrible. 
Especially when it takes me, like, 23 minutes to travel 16.5 miles, twice a day, mostly freeway.
