In the tradition of Emerson, Wordsworth and e.e. cummings, Google looks straight into the unblinking eye of Universal Search. From its analyst day, as recited by product manager Jack Menzel:
one search to index them all
one search to find them
one search to bring them all
and in results, combine them

No - actually a reference to the Ring in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. No English major required - just good old science fiction & fantasy. Turns out Google is just as nerdy as any other tech company - but outsiders are assuming it is more sophisticated than it is.
The quote from Tolkien: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”
Is this the first sign that the “Don’t be evil” company is tempted by the dark side of the Force?

Great!!! That’s an amply represented; we benefited richly.

Brings to mind danger, much like Knievel
Tolkien, a genius, has us all talking
Some with authority, others just squawking
The rings represent more than just meets the eyes
