Whilst using the GoTo (sorry Overture) suggestion tool, came across this search term.
knowledge management knowledge sharing business innovation information overload knowledge economy intangible asset team knowledge process markup language language

Which apparently was searched for 36 times in a month!

Can anyone else better this!

It looks to me like someone is trying to find out whether their website is listed by using their keywords.

All the best

I had one last month "dead man's chest". There is an island in the BVI called "Dead Chest" which was immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson in his book "Treasure Island". "15 men on a dead man's chest ... yohoho and a bottle of rum". I mention this in the sailing itinerary page.

However, unless someone was looking for the words to the song, I can't figure out why they would search for such an odd phrase?

If you use the search suggestion tool extensively, you will see several of these paragraph-long searches. I believe that it was discusses here earlier in the year, but I cannot find the exact thread at the moment. here [webmasterworld.com] is another one though.

Liane, that's a funny coincidence - could have been me (can't remember exactly what i searched for). There is a spreadsheet general knowledge quiz going round where you have to fill in the words denoted by capital letters e.g.
23 P O C in an H B.
One of the clues is:
15 M on a D M C
which is, of course, 15 men on a dead man's chest.
The first one is....anyone? (although this should be in Foo, really).

2926 asked whether Jeeves was gay last month which made me laugh - I thought it was obvious. ;)

1764 want to know if he has an evil twin
