Have tried googling on this, but it appears that an appliance exists called
a "toaster oven" which hijacks the search engines!

In cases like that it helps any to negate some search words, i.e. search
for "toaster -oven" without the quotes, or use a URL like this

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=toaster&as_eq=oven
