Bitchin100 shows up in Google results, but usually it's not the first result or even on the first page (like for "Model 100 serial rts cts <https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=model%20100%20serial%20rts%20cts>"). In the back of my mind, I had presumed bitchin100 had a robots.txt forbidding indexing. It was actually a surprise to me when "model 100 uart <https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=model%20100%20uart>" actually worked, but I had only searched for that because I already knew "UART" was used on the page John shared. I checked using site: <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Abitchin100.com> and DDG has nothing indexed for bitchin100 at all. Bing does one better, it shows no results and reports that *"Some results were removed"*: https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Abitchin100.com Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to see what's going on without using Bing's Webmasters tools <https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about>, which can only be done by the owner of the domain. —b9
