Vanity Search

Vanity Search means to be able to search one's own name on any search engine such as Google, Yahoo, and etc. So,,, I tried to do a "vanity search" on myself on both Google and Yahoo but it was quite difficult to begin with because even though I specifically searched "Jamie Jihyun Lee" with my age, school, gender, and home location, no search was found based on my name. Due to my name being quite common, I think it was harder to find myself on those search engines. Honestly, I think it would be weird to actually type in my name and have myself be the top searches found. But it is quite interesting and amazing what technology can do, because one can find themselves on the Internet if enough information or even little information is out there about a certain person.
