hmm you reminded to re try one of my test searches
Now google knows me and my site but does not connect any of you to my site so I
would be interested in what you see
Imagine you used to work for a company in the UK in the 1960's
or wanted to research the rumor that they used to manufacture transistors
A google image search with "Lucas semiconductor manufacture" as the
term now seems to put me on top of the pile
I can see that google is working to recognise the content and put it together.
I saved the page, this is what I see.
