Do a proper Google search for the phrase inside quotation marks—"Mac problems"—and you get a more useful number... 50,700 hits. GLDNGUN's search of MAC PROBLEMS got hits for any webpage that had the string "Mac" and the string "problems" anywhere on the page... even if they were separated by several thousand words.

That's right. Over 50,000 pages with the exact phrase "Mac problems". Meanwhile, the other ridiculous examples return 3, 0, and 0 pages, proving once again that google does NOT return "a bunch of hits for any phrase."

I Think not... googling the set of words: penguins eating polar bears —returned 262,000 hits.
