[Web4lib] searching for "the"

[Patricia F Anderson]

ROFL! Love it! I learn a lot about search engine behavior by doing these 
odd searches. If you want to see something *really* ... unexpected, try 
searching:

site:.edu

You would think it would give the top ranked web sites on edu domains, 
right? Well, that's what you might expect, but nope!
