That certainly might be one explanation... Or perhaps your just seeing the images that are actually available? How far do you scroll on a search? How many pages deep into the results do you go?
I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that you - like most others - just work from the first 2 or 3 pages and then either give up or refine your search parameters. The thing is, with an image search, you are immediately inundated with images that your brain will now start associating with the words in the search whether they are proper responses to the query or not. It's the same process that advertisers take advantage of all the time: 28 seconds of hot chicks in bikinis, 2 seconds to let you know the ad is for potato chips. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) Yeah, I've done image searches on other topics and was frustrated time and time again with practically every sort of response except the one I was specifically looking for. I seem to have developed a skill for switching off during commercials... I wish I knew how I did it, then I could make some cash by advertising it to... oh, wait... dammit!  |

I don't watch TV anymore, but when I did, I sort of shut down during commercial breaks as well... unless there were girls in bikinis...  |

I generally only watch commercial free TV networks and record what I want to watch off of other TV networks, so I can skip the commercials. |

This apartment came with a nice flat screen TV but only the ex-gf ever watched it. It's just a dust collector, now. |

I don't want to sit in front of my laptop to watch something... even if I knew how to download anything. I wouldn't know where to start looking. I record what I want off TV, watch DVDs, or watch YT. |

I have two laptops in front of me while I'm at home: 1 for downloading and watching and the other for working, posting and whatever else I might need a computer for. |

With that setup, you could also plan out your strategic approach to the Cayo Perico heist in GTA... |
