I propose further bending the analogy to make it more correct:

>a particular and rare style should be "a particular style", since we don't know how prevalent the image is in places that aren't major image search engines, or for other search terms within those engines.

>from a particular designer store should be "from a specific location of a particular global discount store"

>on the day someone was seen committing a crime while wearing an obviously brand new one. on the Tuesday before someone was seen committing a crime while wearing one. (images, once acquired, last forever; there's nothing saying the image was acquired in the time window of the subpoena)



I'm not sure I understand your changes. We're talking about searching for a relatively unknown person, so I'd assume we're talking about a rare search term. This is not like asking for who searched about "wire fraud".

> >from a particular designer store should be "from a specific location of a particular global discount store"

Sure, fair enough, my point was simply that it was a rare thing and pretty identifiable.

> (images, once acquired, last forever; there's nothing saying the image was acquired in the time window of the subpoena)

I'm sorry, I don't understand this sentence.
