[Web4lib] Google search results question

[Richard Wiggins]

It matters because you may want to refine your search. If you see a million 
candidate hits, and you know you will only skim 100, maybe you need a finer 
hit list.
 Whether Google needs to do the math perfectly according to set theory is 
another issue.
