There's a line in a how-to-research book I just read that tells the undergraduate, "you already know how to search the internet." Do they though? Do you teach students how to internet, esp. as we've come to see 'search' as having degraded as of late?

Tbf to the authors the line is rhetorically in service of asking students to devote some time and energy to search themselves for their own interests and biases, which is all to the good.
