I was at uni in 2005. A mate wanted to search for a book and wrote something like this in Google search "go to digital library and find me this book". We laughed at what he did back then, searched for "<book name>" in quotes and may be with filetype I dont remember and found the book.

I think about that lots of times when I google these days. That he wasn't wrong, was just asking it 15 years too early.
