CozImJewish:
I figured out why the Dov Hoschander song didn’t show up when you searched for it. 🙂
When using Google (and most search engines), there is a difference between, for example, searching for
[her son is serving on the line] and searching for
[“her son is serving on the line”]. A search with quotation marks around some words will find only pages that have those words in that order.
(If it finds no results for the exact phrase, it will show results for the same search without quotes and tell you so).
This is obviously a more precise and powerful way to search, though it can be a stumbling block if you’re misremembering something even slightly.
Also (although it wouldn’t have mattered in this case), when trying to find a song by searching for some of its words, it’s usually best to put in the word [lyrics] in addition to the actual lyrics, and, if you don’t see what you’re looking for on the first page, to check at least the second page as well, especially if it’s something obscure like a Jewish song.
