I am teh foolish. I just did a Google search on "pierce latex", meaning (obviously) Benjamin Pierce and LaTeX. You can imagine the results.

Searching for LaTeX syntax is one of the major disappointments of Google, for me. Google isn't case-sensitive, and it ignores a lot of special characters, so "LaTeX \list" is the same search as "latex list", and at best will get you "lists of LaTeX ".

Every month or so I click on "Dissatisfied with these search results?" and send them a complaint about this or that search not working, even though I clearly included slashes, etc.
