NATURALLY OCCURRING GOOGLEWHACKS: A Study in Web Searching

These are all my searches since April 2003 that ended up retrieving
exactly one page.  I've labeled each one with REPEAT (returned a page
I already knew about), HIT (returned something helpful), MISS
(returning something irrelevant), RELEVANT (didn't answer my question,
but it was on topic), MISSING (Google's page was inaccessible), TYPO
(not the query I intended).


"though studying the situation. After about" (Sat Apr 19 23:39:13 EDT 2003)
 Needed to retrieve a verbatim passage.  As a googlewhack, this is
pretty inelegant.  REPEAT.

sportscaster.) REPEAT.
