Finder Spyder

[Ouchmaker]

Anyone else noticed this?

Finder Spyder, or FinderSpyder, or Finder-Spyder is a search engine. But this search engine doesn't exist. Not unless you live in a tv series.

Journeyman
CSI
Moonlight
Prison Break
Without a Trace
Dexter

All of these shows have used it, and more shows are probably going to appear.

Maybe it's just me, but is this the 21th century equivalent of the 555? You know how everyone always has a phone number that starts with 555? So maybe Finder Spyder is the search engine everyone uses, on TV that is?

I have no idea...I'm still lost on what you're talking about, lol.

Finder-Spyder, have you come across this thing? It may be called Finder Spyder, or FinderSpyder. It doesn't matter what exact spelling is used. The thing is, it's a search engine used to find information.

But if you look through the internet, you don't find a search engine called Finder-Spyder. Instead you will find sites and blogs which talk about Finder-Spyder.

Ever since it opened, the star of Journeyman uses his palm pilot from time to time, in order to find informaton on people. The search engine he uses in this television series? Finder-Spyder.

Moonlight, episode 7 or 8. Mick St. John, also the main character of the series, is locating a person. He uses what search engine? FinderSpyder.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think I saw the name in the first episode of Prison Break, when he's searching for information, he uses the search engine Finder Spyder.

Maybe a month ago, they did the same thing on CSI. I think it was Grissom, who uses Finder-Spyder to find information on a person.

Etc. The list goes on. So what exactly is going on? All these shows, from different networks, are using the same search engine. It looks different, the spelling is different, but it works exactly the same way.

So is this the 21st century response to the 20th century method of 555?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(telephone_number)

Ever since the 70's, in numerous movies and television shows, they've used the area code of 555. Nowadays when they call someone, the number always starts 555.....

But what I'm interested, is simply to ask, if 555 was the result of the 20th century, is Finder-Spyder the new fictious element used now, in the 21st century?

555 for phone numbers, Finder-Spyder for search engines?
