The secret to Internet success is to keep the search terms to a minimum, not a maximum. You'll never find an exact match to the whole thing.

Yeah, but when you put a complex query out there and get a hit it's pretty cool. Why can't we execute SQL over Google?

Dell just offered to update my computer system. Apparently they want to disable everything except Google this time.

Because we don't ... and if Google is as smart a company as we are told ... we should never know the table structures that Google uses to store its search data.

select [what row?] from [what table?] where [what row?] = ???

You aren't going to get far with SQL if you don't know what you're querying against.
