According to the rules you must use AltaVista to search.  And you MUST
use quotes like in "AS/400 rules" else you will get any document that
contains 'AS/400' and 'rules/rocks/sucks' but not together.

I get the following:
"AS/400 rules"          5
"AS/400 rocks"          0
"AS/400 sucks"          0

"AS400 rules"           0
"AS400 rocks"           0
"AS400 sucks"           0

"OS/400 rules"                  0
"OS/400 rocks"                  0
"OS/400 sucks"                  2

"OS400 rules"                   0
"OS400 rocks"                   0
"OS400 sucks"                   0
