PV

Ok, it’s just a few of your questions have been easy dictionary lookups. With this one, obviously pv will bring up solar panels so you need to narrow the search. I searched on pv and Sverige. Another would be pv plus 50-talet. Both bring up the car.

Hi

I'm looking at this now. The problem is that Google is always changing and the handy tool to do searches by location and language disappeared but now seems to be back.
My search results are already much better :)

I think one should bare in mind that searches (e.g. google) depends on where you are, I am in sweden but have a vpn routing my over US. If I search for PV I do not get any hits on the car, but if I turn off the vpn and search I immediately get several Volvo hits.
Search algorithms can also take in account personal preferences and earlier searches.
And two letter acronyms aren't exactly the easiest to know. They can easily be several things. swedes in my generation all know that PV in this context refers to the car, but for someone who is not native or who is younger it's not at all self-evident what is meant. So absolutely no shame asking on that.

Hello Chris

I can assure you that I do try to find things first and got no hits but after your remarks, I will have to check if my settings are okay for Google. This is because I live in France, often search for French, Swedish and sometimes English words

I even loaded the Swedish news page first and then ran a Google web search but nothing

However, if I load the Swedish news page and then search in "news", yes, it comes up first

I didn't expect this as news is normally current and the period I'm now covering is the 1950s but indeed it does find "nostalgic" articles about the PV

So when I have time, I'll try to find a way to toggle better between Swedish, French and English searches

I also have memoQ programmed to do web searches on 12 sites and they too did not give me any results.

So thanks for your observation but please believe me if I say that I do ran multiple searches

Regards

You need to do at least some research before posting questions. I checked and this is the very first hit on Google! Otherwise you are just taking advantage of other people’s goodwill.

Thanks. Volvo PV almost became vinyl record
