about a couple of entries at Search Engine Watch
<http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3417941> and
<http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/041006-234>.

I tried Roy Tennant's suggestion of searching Huckleberry Finn.  I was
underwhelmed, but that may be due to the nature of the book product
which was retrieved.  I tried both 'tom sawyer' and ' "tom sawyer" '
(using single quotes in this message to enclose the search terms as
typed).  The string search suppressed the 'Product search results'
function in Google.  Something which I hadn't noticed previously was a
[definition] link in the bar where the search terms and result set are
described.  In this case, Tom Sawyer is defined
<http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tom+sawyer&r=67> by
Dictionary.com.
