Did you ever do a google search, and on the resulting page is eXACTly the info you were looking for, only when you click on it, your browser takes you somewhere else? A login page, a heap of menus, that sort of thing SIGH.

Concise answer down the bottom, but do read on nevertheless!

Many times you all answer. Its actually the website you hook into that does this..Mr google has done the hard yards getting into the site, and showing you bits and pieces that are ordinarily not available to the average Joe and ..Joe-ess, initially, and not without some hard yakka.
However, ALL IS NOT LOST.
At the end of ..most..of the search results, is a little green down facing arrow. Iffen you and I click on that, up..or down..drops a wee menu, with cached written on it. So, now, iffen you click on the word cached, you get another webpage, and up the top will be something like..this is a webshot of the page that google took, on..september 23 2017…the dates vary of course, and underneath is the page that you were trying to find..in the first place. The info is right in front of you..finally.
Comes in handy, after all, a lot of the time, you just cant see a vital bit of info on the search result initially, and all you need is another few words…SIGHs plural.
so, we get a cached view.

But, theres a caveat.
Isnt there, on account of half of you are furiously emailing the author, bemoaning the fact that you ..dont get little green arrows anywhere, and whats this all about Charlie Brown?

Aha!

The Caveat is..Iffen you have a *normal* computer, this will work fine. (Not all search results do have the little green arrow though..)
UNLESS YOU ARE OF THE APPLE PERSUASION.
ipad, iphones, etc etc. I rather think that its all tablets and mobile phones as well, but I havent tested for this. And the tablets and mobile phones dont have to be apple, its ALL tablets and mobile phones. Unless it isnt, then its *a lot* of ..mobile phones, tablets and the like.
I dont know whether macs suffer from this as well, perhaps a Someone could tell me..it may be that Ive maligned poor old Steve unnecessarily..

as will all caveats, ..well ok, a lot..well, some, maybe a few caveats, there is a workaround.
I have found two..one is a tad convoluted, and thats installing an app, namely

Workflow.

Add it to your menus that come down from the dots in the corner..top right..on ipad anyway, so you hit share, hit workflow, click on cached view page that floats around, and the page you are on will display googles cached version. you do that when whatever you click on has taken you somewhere else. sometimes, the site has taken you to a ..land far far away..and it doesnt work. The following method is *more* failsafe 🙂

Or, the easier one I found at least, is to ..initially..go to cachedpages.com . Bookmark it.
When you find that a search term has taken you to never never land, go back to the search term, highlight the url and copy it. You might as well open a new tab..goto bookmarks, click on cachedpages.com. It will open up, and in pride of place is a looong box, with enter url next to it.
Paste the copied link in there, enter, and..voila..the cached version , together with the info that the search has so kindly returned for your enjoyment, is ..at last..displayed. PHEW.
Its been a long hard battle, but I think we’ve won the day.

I do enjoy putting all this together, but..sigh..some of you are a tad impatient with all the wordage.

So..

Three methods so far.
Firstly, hit the green downfacing arraw at the end of the search term, click on cached

two, Utilise the “workflow” app

and three paste the url that the search returned into cachedpages.com webpage -the long box next to..enter url.., and press the enter button.
