Re: googling an IP address

[James <james () tuksfm co za>]

When your ip search is finished you will see a link that says search for web 
pages that contain the term "xx.xx.xx.xx".

But doing this is the same as searching your ip address in inverted commas.
IE It searches "xx.xx.xx.xx"

If you get no result don't worry. It's probably better that you don't. Unless 
of coarse you're googling your web server's ip.

 "Click on the link that says "Find web pages that contain the term
 xx.xx.xx.xx"
  Where on the google search page is this link? I can't seem to find it.
 
 I also tried to google my IP address, with and without quotes, and the
 searches returned no results.
