Re: Google

Here's a cheat sheet, although not the nicest I've seen. Maybe you can
google for a better one?

http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html

Note that these operators are labeled "advanced." They're nice to have but
Google is plenty happy if the average user just thinks they're just so gosh
darn awesome that basic English is all you need to find exactly what you're
looking for.

and I am now getting the exact hits. I wonder if they just tweaked
something.

No results found for "search for this and that but not this".

Results for search for this and that but not this (without quotes):

PICNIC error perhaps? ;)

Double quotes are working fine.

Trying to search some midrange stuff on google lately and, man, does
google stink. Searching for strings surrounded by double quotes is not
respected - it still breaks apart the phrase. specifying site:ibm.com
still lists links to numerous other sites. Am I doing something wrong?
