* As part of a trip Susanna is taking, she's currently en route to her next destination via public transportation. Her connection is variably spotty, weak, or non-existent, and she knows things will be no different in the first hours after her immediate arrival. Rather than lose this time to idleness, she'd like to spend it working on a project.

She can, however, remember specific words and phrases that appeared on the page. She tries searching for it, but the search engine's algorithms aren't helping. She's not sure if it's because her query is too general—and so it's being pushed out of the results by pages she's never even visited and doesn't care about right now—or if maybe the page hasn't even been indexed at all. | * Sarah is trying to recall the specifics of something she'd read a few weeks ago, but she can't remember enough of the details to find the page in her browser history.
