        Okay. I answered a question in Q/A this morning that resulted in a google search result of 326 million results being returned. That got me wondering what the largest search result is that one could find, so I entered the obious search term: "art" returned 4.04 BILLION results (and don't bother with "sex", it returned half the number of hits that "art" did). Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a search term/phrase that returns more hits. The only rule I can think of is: 0) It has to be a subject, rather than a word like "a, with", "then", "and", etc. (all of these return 25.27 billion results, which looks like the google limit) Of course, you're more likely to get more hits if you use a single word. BTW, I'm at work right now, so my settings are SearchSafe Strict, and only "English" is checked in the Preferred Languages section.

                                        Okay. I answered a question in Q/A this morning that resulted in a google search result of 326 million results being returned. That got me wondering what the largest search result is that one could find, so I entered the obious search term: "art" returned 4.04 BILLION results (and don't bother with "sex", it returned half the number of hits that "art" did). Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a search term/phrase that returns more hits. The only rule I can think of is: 0) It has to be a subject, rather than a word like "a, with", "then", "and", etc. (all of these return 25.27 billion results, which looks like the google limit) Of course, you're more likely to get more hits if you use a single word. BTW, I'm at work right now, so my settings are SearchSafe Strict, and only "English" is checked in the Preferred Languages section.

                                        'English' got 7.2b 'Help' got 10.7b 'software' got 4.0b Yet somehow, nobody can post a decent question in QA.
