Sometimes, after meeting somebody, you get that weird... vibe about them. Or maybe, you're simply intrigued about them. You want to know everything you possibly can about them, so that's when you decide to log in to your computer and search their name. More often than not, your search returns nothing, prompting you to want to know more about them. Sometimes, you get results, but they were nothing like you were expecting. This is often how attraction starts between characters, prompting them to want to get to know you. If the person you're searching has a pretty common name, but you still manage to find information on him, that's It's A Small Net After All.

At the start of the Ghost in the Shell: Arise manga, Aramaki gives Batou an order to deliver a package. Even though Section 9 hadn't officially existed yet, and it wasn't an order he had to follow, the team decided he was the best for the job because Motoko ran a background check and found out he used to work as a postal delivery man before he joined the military. Batou was not amused. | |

On Scrubs a patient Dr. Kelso is treating finds information about him and her medical condition via her smart phone, faster -and more accurately- than he was telling her. Being somewhat behind the times, he had no idea how she was doing it until Dr. Cox mentioned it as something patients have started doing. | |

In Death Note, when Light Yagami and Misa Amane discover they are the first and second Kira, respectively, the first thing they do is try to look information about each other. Light, while a genius, keeps his profile low, just giving basic information on his online profile. Misa on the other hand, is a famous model with a lot of public interaction and public events. Obviously this initially stresses Light quite a bit. | |

Doctor Who: "Rose", the first episode of the new series, has Rose look up "the Doctor" shortly after meeting him. When that predictably gives her a huge bevy of irrelevant results, she tightens the search to "Doctor Blue Box", and finds a related website with improbable ease. "Spyfall": When companions Yaz and Ryan go undercover as reporters to interview billionaire Daniel Barton, he looks up "Sofia Afzal" and "Logan Jackson" on his phone to be sure they are who they say they are. Thanks to tech borrowed from MI6, Yaz and Ryan's covers possess an online presence that ensures Barton finds nothing amiss. |

It's a running gag on Silicon Valley that the guys Google new associates, and autocomplete tells us about their character before they even do the search. When they Google Russ Hanneman, for example, the top autocomplete suggestions are "douchebag", "sexual harassment lawsuit", "billionaire" and "misogynist". | |

Star Wars Legends: During Galaxy of Fear Tash meets a man who everyone agrees is crazy. She's told he's the sole survivor of a Coming in Hot situation, his mind snapped, and if he leaves D'vouran he'll be apprehended by the authorities. She accesses the Holonet to look up records on him and finds that they match what she's been told, but notices a program attached to the records that alerts someone that she's accessed them, and naturally Tash finds this suspicious. | |

Relied upon for the 'Lorenzo von Matterhorn' play from Barney's Playbook in How I Met Your Mother to work. Also invoked in one episode where Ted mentions how dating isn't like it used to be since people can find out all sorts of things about you before you even go on a first date. So when he asks out the chick of the day, they decide to make a pact not to google each other before their date. Naturally his friends being the nosy-nellies that they are (even lampshaded by Robin's current therapist boyfriend) Google her instead. Commence them freaking out and trying to get Ted to look at what they found. He finally caves in, and instead of it being awful, it turns out the girl is a rocket-scientist-baby-saving-extremely-wealthy-miracle woman. So Ted blows the date by having an inferiority complex. |

Justice League Unlimited: When the archaeologist Carter Hall asks Hawkgirl out on a date (and she accepts), Batman looks up the man online—and finds that he has a long history of starting flame wars by white knighting on "I hate Hawkgirl" web forums. This is the first evidence that Carter is a little bit obsessed with Hawkgirl. | |
