DuckDuckGo is your friend.

I have to say that I've never heard of this proverb and a quick
check around suggests I don't know anyone who has either.

At a guess, I'd say duckduckgo isn't a friend of yours. Do you get
lonely? You should get into geology. It's ideal work for an outgoing
personality with no friends.

It's the only search engine I use and took the opportunity to promote it.
No, I never get lonely. What's it like?
On the basis of your description, I am very obviously not the right type
of person to engage in geology although I have been known to pick up
pretty stones from the beach. That probably doesn't count and no doubt
stems from being deprived of beaches during my early childhood.
