I’ve been spending far too much time on the computer.
Yes, it’s possible.

I went to the grocery store a couple days ago and I went down the canned food aisle. I had to get some crushed pineapple for something my wife was making.  I stared at the aisle of cans which went on forever in each direction searching for “Crushed Pineapple”

Now, grocery stores don’t put this stuff in any sort of logical order. They group some brands together with canned fruit, some with canned vegetables and whatnot. Things get prominent shelf space depending upon how much they paid the grocery store.  This makes it nearly impossible to find anything without knowing exactly where it is.

I stood there staring at the cans thinking:
“What I wouldn’t give for Ctl-F right now!”

How much easier would our life be if we had a search function in our daily lives?  You wouldn’t have to stand in a grocery store and wonder where the Lucky Charms are in the cereal aisle, You would be able to find  that elusive can of soup, and above all, you wouldn’t have to wander around for hours trying to figure out where they keep the coffee.
