    Start off by searching for "yx" or "xy". Then do your actual search. If you're going for image search, do the yx/xy text search first, then you go over to images. That'll (for some…

    Main thing holding me back from even trying it is the mental overhead of having to think about "number of searches per month". Same as an ISP with a bandwidth limit, even if it's m…
