Google Search Problem
Riddle me this, Batman!
I tried this phrase search on both a Mac and a Windows PC and got dramatically different results. On the Mac I tried Firefox and Safari. Anyone have an explanation?
Thanks.

Hi Dave,
It looks like Windows doesn't honor the quotation marks. The whole phrase isn't searched, just unique words (not 'what,' 'for' or 'is'). I have no idea why--maybe it has something to do with smart quotes.

Hi again,
I just did the same search (on a Mac) with the quotes and got the 91 hits the Windows machine got for you.
Laurel again.
