There should be a word for when you're googling for something and the first results are your own AskMe questions on the topic or your del.icio.us tags about it.

That happened to me once- I was googling a word to see if I was spelling it correctly, and the ONLY results were my own website.

I dunno, but can it have the word pony in it as a word-within-a-word? Like, eponysearchable? This should be a rule for all Metafilter neologisms. 'k, thanks.
