Google frustration

[Boss 302]

Check for areas close to your zip code and make a day trip out of it.

Or search for "carports near me".

That assumes your IP address resolves to somewhere near you. My one at work does. The one at home puts me near Detroit. Another way would be "carports in <zipcode>" (or postal code or whatever you guys is Aussie land call it).

Funny...when I google something the first page is mostly Amazon stuff & MAYBE one or two of them have a word in common with my search.

Yep. ZIP code would work very well.

This will date me but...did you try looking in the yellow pages of your local phone book?

I usually try google first but sometimes the phone book helps.

I took the OP's post too literally, I guess. Here's what I came up with when I "googled frustration";
From Merriam Webster...

Too true. And since most spam I get, claiming that my ISP is wide open to the internet, shows that I'm a 190 miles away, I"m afraid that location won't do me much good.

I see that a lot with business websites that apparently geolocate you by your IP address. Only thing, there's not much consistency. Some think I'm in Maine, some show various places in N.Y. state and others show a random assortments of towns in a 40 or so mile radius of where I actually live. Once in a while they get the town right, but not very often.

You must have better security than me. For Google directions the map starts from where our shared access lane meets the county road. That's my 'street address', not my house 1/4 mile in. But then there's a pin right at my house - within 20 ft of where I'm sitting - when I look at a Google Map. Google knows all. And apparently shares it with every merchant.
