Googling for sizeof took me to <https://www.google.com/search?q=sizeof&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a> The first hit is the Wikipedia page for Sizeof, which I would recommend. The misleading man page from nesssoftware.con is nowhere in the top 10. Googling for "man sizeof" took me to a page which, according to Firefox, has exactly the same URL, which mentions sizeof but not 'man'. However, the list of hits is different. The misleading man page from nesssoftware.com is the first hit, and the Wikipedia page is nowhere in the top 10. Googling for man sizeof (without the double quotes) took me to a third page with exactly the same URL, but now the Wikipedia page is the first hit, while the misleading nesssoftware.com is in second place. I had some ideas about how URLs work, and how Google search works, that are inconsistent with the fact that these three searches produced exactly the same URLs, but different search results. If anyone could explain, I'd appreciate it.
