What do you call it when you get exactly one result for a Google search? I got it for google-imaging "shovel nomenclature," and it's too bad, too, because it's a userpic for a motorcyclist's forum, showing, naturally, a guy and his motorcycle.

It was a sincere search: I was trying to be reminded of the correct name for the little ledge thing on the top of the shovel blade, the place where you put your foot when digging.

That was fast. But when I saw that you had replied so swiftly, I had high hopes you knew what to call that part of a shovel.

I didn't know, but I got lucky with my Google search. The trick I use for this sort of thing is to try a few guesses for things liable to be in related answers, and hope one of them works -- in this case, I put "shovel" and the first part of the shovel I could think of ("handle"), and found that link as about the fourth result. (This was after "shovel foot" failed to find anything.)
