I've been trying to find the post where Zeger Knaepen first introduced his
fastclouds.inc.  (He does repost it ad hoc, but I wanted to find the
introductory post.)  I came across one post where someone complained that the
file was hard to find.

The problem I'm finding is with the search engine itself.

If you enter POV-Ray's search page and enter `fastclouds', The Google
immediately ASSumes that you made a typo and gives you the results for `fast
clouds'.  Fair enough, since It admits that you /might/ know what you want and
offers a link to what you had asked for in the first place.  (I'd rather it give
me what I asked for and then offer me alternative links /in case/ it was a typo,
but either way gets me what I want.)

I click on that link, and It gives me the first 4 results for `fastclouds'.  But
when I go to page 2, It forgets that I knew what I wanted, and reverts to `fast
clouds' again!

Apparently, if your search term doesn't meet The Google's approval, you're not
permitted to see any search results beyond page one.
