  1. That makes sense. I forgot the last time i conducted a one word search... well... i did... for strange words.

  2. That's interesting, nowadays you can't find what you are looking for with one-word phrases.

  3. that is interesting, but I still think putting whatever you want in quotes helps a lot more than just typing more words.

  8. Hello - found your site on BE! Just wanted to say that this makes perfect sense - in fact, I think I'm probably in the 6 or 7 word search category, and definitely with quotes! ;) I use some one word tags, some two word tags, and some three word tags in my blog, so *hopefully* I'm covering my bases! If you have a second, please check it out and let me know what you think/suggestions - http://therestofus.everlinkweb.com.
