onfocus.com : Google Smackdown









The Arena
The setting is the most impressive search engine ever built: Google. As a test of its new API, two words or phrases will go head-to-head in a terabyte tug-of-war. Which one appears in more pages across the Web?


The Challengers
You choose the warring words...


word/phrase 1
word/phrase 2


The Details
This queries Google via its API and receives the estimated total results for each word or phrase. The smackdown adds quotes to your word or phrase when searching. So if you add quotation marks here, Google will ignore the quotes altogether.

If you get interesting results, send them my way.
