what do you mean by ‘hit count’?

What I mean is that Bing found 233,000 results, Google found 190.

And that is a rather pointless comparison. If the 233,000 results were mostly unrelated to the actual topic and the 190 were it’s in Google’s favor. The real questions are relevance and whether the search engine is covertly censoring the results. A mere hit count comparison answers neither of those.

Does anyone know are there still any search engines that include a proximity operator so you can find pages with two or more words near each other, but not necessarily in an exact phrase?
