Questions in the main support forum are only indexed by Google if they are marked solved. Questions that are deleted or marked as spam will not be re-indexed by Google. Questions that are closed for any reason by a Mod or Admins I believe fall in to the latter category. Rather than try to look up the documentation or try to get my head around code it is far simpler to test this live on the forum thus this question. LMGTFY is a fairly rare target string. I will post ths question mark t solved then immediatly close it. Question posted by a Moderator for test purposes. I anticipate it will not show up on Google. (I will probably unlock the question later.) I can even test that by using LMGTFY. Note unless you explain exacctly how &/oir or provide the link to the relevant hit from the results of the search. The initialism LMGTFY may be considered offensive: rather like Read The Fine Manual. * Commercial site http://lmgtfy.com <br/> It animates the google search so may be a useful tool to demonstrate how to search.

If anyone has good reason to use LMGFY links for a helpful purpose all well and good but please use the full link not the shortened link so that it is clear what you are searching for. Please do not port obfuscated or shortened links on the forum (With the exception, maybe on the Android forum of shortened links copied from Mozilla documentation)
