Another example might be Search results (eg. Google or Bing). You can't really index the search results as they are dynamically generated. And only exist while you're looking at it  (if they show meaningful content is often up for discussion  )

And on a lighter note...
I've noticed it's common for people who live in, say, London to speak of living in the UK rather than England.
Is it somehow politically incorrect to reference England rather than the grand and glorious empire of the United Kingdom? Or is it just fewer characters to type UK?

I've noticed its common for folks the US side of the pond to say England rather than the UK.
We would probably say London UK rather than London England but both are OK.
Where it gets odd is if we hear Glasgow or Edinburgh England which is obviously wrong, but sometimes heard in US TV exports.

For me personally I would say London is in England.
But If I was to say the country on its own then I would say the UK

Yes, it's complicated. I am English, but would generally answer that I was British. Similiar I live in England but I'm from the UK.
English as a nationality is used less these days because it goes against the idea of multiculturism. British encompasses people who live in Britain, whereas English is more of a 'race' I guess.
England flags have a slight undertone of Nationalism about them, so are generally less in favour than the Union Jack which is England/Scotland/Wales flags combined.
Britain isn't the same as the UK of course.

Ah, well, now you're asking! Where's Dave when you need him?...
Last time I checked it was England/Scotland/Wales. The UK is that but also includes Northern Ireland.
If it seems confusing, it is to us too.
EDIT: yes I spelt Ireland wrong originally.

Here we go again:
Britain is an island (plus some lesser islands round Scotland) comprising the three countries: England, Scotland, Wales. It is often referred to as Great Britain, to distinguish it from Less Britain, which was a part of Northern France a few hundred years back. That's the geography, now for the politics. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the nation referred to as UK, and is Britain plus six counties in the north of the island of Ireland. There are various other islands (Man and the Channel Islands) which are loosely connected to the UK while not being complete parts of it. Most people who live here think of themselves as British, apart from the Welsh and the Scots, and some of the Irish, and the French, and the ...

Which of the races which inhabit England would you say were "the English race": the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans, the Vikings, one of the others...?

Well, the word comes English comes from Anglo-Saxon and I believe they are the main influence. As I understand it the Celts who were here before have a hispanic heritage and fled to the extremities of Scotland and Wales. There's bin a bit of inter-breeding since then, so who know now?

Specifically it comes from the Angles, and not the Saxons.
The Angles were just a smaller Germanic tribe that settled here, the Saxons were much larger so why we got named after them instead no-one seems to be sure.
