The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Not that you'd necessarily want to do this

This little bit of advice came down through a listserv today: how to make Microsoft's Search Babe Ms. Dewey vanish before your eyes, albeit temporarily.

Wait for her to finish her spiel, go to the text box, and type lord of the rings.

It works as well for her as it does for those Hobbitual ring-wearers.

Better than vanishing, she can make beer apear before your eyes. (search beer)

Yeah, but I'm a sucker for an invisible girl. (Although beer does change the equation just a little.)

A few more emails have suggested that she may have multiple responses for the same search string. This warrants further research.

The idea is to make her CLOTHES vanish.

Somebody from Microsoft was here today to read this; maybe they're paying attention.

Interestingly, the beer bit recurs if you search for "i think i love you". She definitely knows her audience. :)
