Having access to a search engine has had a huge impact on my life. I research prospective tenants, look up how to do stuff, find out what's happening locally, check out recipes and inform myself about current events etc. Most days I look something up at least half a dozen times, probably more. I relish the immediacy of the response and the opportunity to 'compare and contrast' the range of information given. My last search was on stove fans - I saw a reference to them and had no idea what they are. I do now.
Over to you; what was the last thing you googled (other search engines are available).

Off your own bat or 'off your own back'. Both in use but off your own bat is the original saying so I was sort of right DH.
