When the internet was still new, the first search engines would produce nearly all available results. (!) This was both good and bad as it often required extensive diving through page after page to find the specific information. Along the way, though, some interesting 'asides' could be gained.
One example was an encoded message sent to the Bank of Malta from the son of Charles 'Willoughby' (Weidenbach). It's since been lost on some past thumbdrive in an old format. I found it interesting and wondered about the hidden subject matter in that encrypted message. I was familiar at the time with both the history of Willoughby and The Knights/Bank of Malta, as well as the histories of Malta itself.
Willoughby's father was Baron T. von Tscheppe-Weidenbach an important personage within German-Austrian Intelligence. The high military medal awarded the German soldier was the Maltese cross for reasons.
