search overload

nothign to do with drugs, but I found this funny.

I'm sure we've all seen the 'bing.com' commercial where people respond randomly to a single word or phrase, usually without any correlation between what the orrigional person asked and the numerous things the second person replied while staring blankly into the camera.

well, I just did one of those.

"noob guide to international shipping via usps"

"Beginner`s Guide to Digital Photo Art | Overstock.com"

"Mama Knows Breast: A Beginner's Guide to Breastfeeding, - eBay ..."

If you would have put international shipping via ups in quotes, you would have found the info the where looking for...

guide "international shipping via ups"

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=mVh&num=50&q=guide+%22international+shipping+via+ups%22&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

And seriously... I dont see bing or yahoo or whatever giving you better results. far from it. More commercial results, less free and helpfull (ilegal...) results.

I'm a professional programmer, I know how to work google just fine, and it shouldn't require the quotes. as a matter of fact, I'd gone through 3 or 4 searches without any luck with more specific phrases before this one hit me.

I completely agree, I never use any engine other than google.

1 way you know something is good: if everyone knows about it, and it's NEVER been advertised.

anywho, I didn't even end up searching any of those other sites, I just got owned by the 'commercial happening' to me.. especially when I wasn't trying to make it happen
(who's never played the google image porn game.. flip open the dictionary and pick a number 1-25, type in that word and count how many pages till porn comes up)
