Hmm, funny, I also googled with similar terms, but did not find the Asimov story (which I read when I was a kid). I'm sure you're right, of course -- just amused at my leaky memory.

To your comment, yes, that is pretty amazing, to have my (our) intelligence augmented in this way. Because just writing it down, and reading it once, is not sufficient to remember it.

It took us a long time to understand the power of writing, and it could be that eventual understanding of the power of search will also have vast implications.
