Both Google Scholar and Windows Academic have some real problems with literary quotes. On a search for [call me ishmael], neither engine returned "Moby Dick."

Google Scholar returns some studies of Melville with "ishmael" in the title. Windows Academic doesn't yet have a large enough index to really manage that. "Call me e-mail" is the closest it comes. Regular Google at least digs deeply enough that it finds the quote in Wikipedia.

Maybe I should be using Google Library, but there's no navigation to it from Google Scholar. Hmmmm.... call me a help file.
