Help! I'm obsessed!! They don't google!!!

[RamblingRose]

I am trying to google the parents of my 7 year old daughters' friend. They live in a $2+ million house (which is a lot for the Atlanta market), so you'd think they'd google. I have known them since the beginning of the school year, and they are very quiet, almost secretive, about what they do. The problem is the dad's name is Robert Johnson, so I get a google of hits searching on google. Is there a way to do a search that keeps the first and last names together, so rather than hitting every person with the name Robert or Johnson, I only hit those with the name Robert Johnson?

1. Why do you care?

Give it up. NOYB.

9. If you don't trust people enought to not run a google-search

then you shouldn't leave your kids with them.

12. yeah im over protective

so far I have only left my daughter with my motherinlaw and one very close friend once. about 5 times total and never for more than a couple of hours. but maybe when she is seven she will have friends and go over there etc. and i might want to check out the parents becuase you never know

2. try other details liek the town or where they are from etc

or you will get thousands of hits for the blues guitarist robert johnson.

4. Use quotation marks,

"Robert Johnson" and you can add Atlanta (or the exact city or whatever) outside the quotation marks.

8. That's a pretty common name and there are lots of "famous" ones

..You might have better luck by finding out where they work, and then looking ofr an online directory..or try googling the home's address..

10. Use the "without the words" field

11. Thanks! That should give me a place to start.

13. They might be pod people

aliens or ghosts or something, and they used their magical powers to make them invisible to Google. Something to think about.
