I was one of them, until I dug a little deeper into what can be done with Google search if used to its fullest capabilities. It is very simple yet very powerful.</p><p><br></p><p>Karl, looks like you brought Google to its knees :) I also searched for ~car, and the first result was <a href="http://www.bmwusa.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.bmwusa.com">www.bmwusa.com</a>. I guess Google returns search results based on the location where the query originated.</p><p><br></p><p>Burleson, thanks for the extra tips and links, very helpful and useful.</p>Eddie AwadTue, 22 Aug 2006 22:53:11 -0000http://awads.net/wp/2006/08/22/7-google-search-tips-and-facts/#comment-3658762<p>Hi Eddie,</p><p><br></p><p>Great tips! The range operator is very helpful! The search "oracle dba pay $100,000..$300,000" was interesting!

Playing with these paramters then lead me to a never seen google message :</p><p><br></p><p>'We're sorry...<br>... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application.
