你有沒有在Google上搜索過自己的名字？千萬別說這個問題太自戀哦，要知道現在網絡自搜已經是個相當普遍的現象了，老搜別人也挺沒意思的，偶爾egosurfing一下也蠻有趣的么。

Egosurfing (also called vanity searching, egosearching, egogoogling, autogoogling, self-googling) is the practice of searching for one's own given name, surname, full name, pseudonym, or screen name on a popular search engine, to see what results appear. It has become increasingly popular with the rise of popular search engines such as Google, as well as free blogging and web-hosting services.

網絡自搜（egosurfing，也叫vanity searching, egosearching, egogoogling, autogoogling, self-googling）指在知名度較高的搜索引擎中搜索自己的名字、姓氏、全名、筆名或者網名，看會出來什么結果。隨著Google等搜索引擎和免費博客以及網絡主機服務的普及，網絡自搜的現象也越來越多。

Similarly, an egosurfer is one who surfs the Internet for his own name, to see what, if any, articles appear about himself.

以此類推，網絡自搜者（egosurfer）就是在網上搜索自己的名字，看會不會有跟自己相關的文章出現的人。
