Which search phrase would get the most search results within a Google search? (the number on the top right?) That is not counting what google sees as stopwords (the, a, and..)
Just a few:
new copyright ---- 7.150.000
copyright free --- 6.690.000
new free --------- 6.850.000
new page --------- 6.490.000
last updated ----- 6.390.000
advanced search -- 4.790.000
forum information - 4.360.000
tv news ----------- 4.100.000
search engine ----- 3.330.000
You see I get bored just after Google updates :)

all one
8,080,000
(any langauge, no filtering. 8,160,000 on www3)
I go with "all one" because its the only legitimate construction of two words ive seen in most of this thread thats scored high :)
no one: 8,260,000
Or the unphrase-like:
one no: 8,310,000
Or you can cheat and have the same word twice (still a phrase within the rules, maybe), like the name of the 80s (?) group:
The The: 10,500,000
And, surprisingly, "The The" is _not_ flagged as stop word(s).
I'll go lie down now.
There was a ban called The The, maybe thats the reason it isnt a stopword when used twice
Use two stop words and neither is flagged. Try it:
a man (one stop)
the man (one stop)
a the (no stops, treated as 2 words)
a a (no stops -- but treated as aa)
not sure if its really a bug, it could be interpret the words as a mistype of a larger word before ruling out the search altogether
"aa" is actually in the dictionary. dunno about "athe" though, although many words deriving from Latin with the beginning "athe" tends to pertain to believers of something, so maybe googles just trying to fiddle around in that respect :)
free = 144.000.000
or have I missed something her
I guess I have, not a phrase, He he he
this is - 9,090,000
Who is winning here? Who is keeping tabs?
whos keeping track.
sfraga with:
1. you all - 8.190
2. if you - 8.100
3. all one - 8.090 (BOL)
copyright 2002 (is 2002 a word?)
all others use stop words as far as I could see, or single letters and not words.
you can check if a word is a stop word if you combine one word of your two word search phrases with a clear not stop-word search:
is car - for example will show "is" as a stop-word.
whereas a search for - this is - will not show that "is" is a stop-word.
By the way- check with which country version of Google you are searching. Google discriminates with non-google.com searches from other countries in showing less results. Also check how safe or clean you are searching within the preferences.
Respectively search with the numbers

What's wrong with this picture. :)
one two - 9,060,000
A few I've checked are up by about half a million.
The hypercompetitive amoungst us might want to resubmit their bids for greatness.
8,870,000
damn. too late
and the winner....
new 2002 9,810,000
and if you include numbers:
all 2002 - 10,700,000
up all - 9,820,000
you all - 10,200,000
which is strange since the first page listed it much lower.
