1968, right?

This includes references /to/ X in this case.

Libraries are usually indexed now, on the internet, you see.

Hold it. Let me set the record straight. I keep an intense routine of 
doing tens of thousands of searches -- my logs from Google alone are 
near 30,000 queries sent to them, this isn't including the number of 
results that I've processed. At 100 results per page, and with the 
fancy autoloading search result javascripts I'm thinking that 20 
results are peanuts here.

Just setting the record straight here ..

I try to do the most exhaustive searches I can on nearly anything, so if 
you want to contribute some references or something, that would be 
awesome.
