Different search engines prefer different ways of wording - as "John Brown"
often works to find all john browns and not also all johns and all browns,
some allow a + sign to mean must be included as in
"john brown" + abolitionist + kansas that way you don't get every site
with the word kansas in it.
ZDTV is suppose to have a feature tomorrow on how to best word searches
with different engines.
