Getting it just right

About search engine results that are perfect

I cast my net into the sea
Red fish, blue fish both may be
Do all the fish I wish to get
End up in the bottom of my net?

There may be some
that I missed
there in the depths...
I can only guess.

There may be others
I'm sad to say
In my net on this fine day.
Ones I did not wish to catch,
which I'll return to sea
at end of watch.

The perfect catch
contains only the ones I wish;
those special red and blue fish.

More than those
are just a bother;
taking time to sort
one way or other.
