Googlewhacking

Just bored at work and tried to do some googlewhacking.

The closest I have managed to get is 21 results (without cheating and putting an entry from a googlewhack site!)

Has anyone ever managed to do one, and if so, with what words?

this is going to sound so fake, but i have done half a dozen or so, but cant think of any right now.

just find a word you have never heard of in the dictionary and then another, and try those two words!

Quite an understatement, if you were that bored you resorted to googlewhacking.

Actually the word is 'masticating' so that counts more as a spellingwhack I think

Re: Googlewhacking

Re: Googlewhacking "have you tried wildcards"

just wondering do you all know about wild cards and search engines for those who don't suppose you were looking for a carpet OK

in the search engine you write "carpet" those exclamation marks tell Google or whoever that you want to find that particular item only.

Sorry for those who a rolling there eyes and thinking "Kin hell " must be someone who who dose not know.
