Hello Pontifex,

Just noticed this, too.

Doing a search on it on google (biw parameter google) it turned out to be the width of the browser in pixels.

Interesting how it varies. Small snippet from the logs for biw values:
1016, 851, 778, 1004, 772, 780, 1003, 780, 1024, 839, 995, 1007, 1005, 995, 993, 759, 740, 1004 (and dozens more)

Care to optimize your page for all of these widths?

radix.
