After being adrift and off course for months in the Pacific Ocean, two women and their two dogs were rescued Wednesday by Sasebo-based amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD-48).
The women and dogs survived their months at sea thanks to having water purifiers onboard and having brought a year’s worth of food.

If anyone interested in scanning thru them
I searched seven ways to Sunday??
Unfortunately, google killed ‘site search’.
Now it is difficult to be certain.
Thanks.
I just search the FR site using the FR search function.
It’s not infallible though.
Here’s a short video of the event’s first contact

Not a sailor but wouldn’t they have hit land if they sailed east or west?
How many dogs did they start with?

Probably 6 or 7. But they ran out of spices.
Looks like their sail shreded, but other than that, the ship was intact.
Travis, would you comment on this?
Lol !!!

Maybe they didn’t want to be found.
Works for me. Example.
Google site search is on the way out. Now what?

Had problems and stop using it after seeing this type of news?
That article is about something else, namely Google Site Search, a paid service by which a site could farm out its internal search function to Google. No ads. No Google branding.
BTW, as your link points out, Google Custom Search is still available and can be used for some of the same purposes as Site Search.
If I were webmaster of example.com, I'd be tempted take whatever the user typed into my search box, stick "site:example.com" in front of it, and open Google in an IFRAME. Of course, the result would contain ads, but so what?
“.....bad weather knocked out their sailboat’s engine, ...... decided to continue onto their destination under wind power.”
IT’S A SAILBOAT!
Why would you be “adrift” in a sailboat? Maroons!
