The internet has failed me

My pressure washer is a few years old and I'm having some issues getting it to turn over. So, I was looking for instructions for an ic2 honda engine on a vr2522 pressure washer and could not find them. I first tried google to no avail. I found folks selling the same pw I own but no instructions for it. Strange right? So I went to the manucaturer's website and they are using a different engine with that model pw now. I went to honda's website and they don't list the engine. They don't even have a search function so I could look up the model. What kind of website doesn't let you search it for content? I'm thuroughly annoyed with honda now.

This has never happened to me before. I've always been able to find absolutely everything I need online. I buy almost everything online: all of my electronics, books, music, you name it. I know I look up online something everyday and always find an answer. It may take hours but I always find what I'm looking for. Maybe ic2 isn't the actual engine number. It must be a user error right?

I think I may try the new MS search engine "bing". I noticed it somehow installed itself on my toolbar without me knowing. I'm sure I must have downloaded something and inadverntently accepted the toolbar download too. Funny thing was I had my toolbar locked at the time and it didn't seem to make a difference. Companies are so tricky when it comes to installing unrequested software. You really have to pay attention or things you didn't even want will find you online.
