Well, in the case of search _words_ (as opposed to search queries) it's perhaps a bit misleading, because a single search can be made of several words -- it's the total number of all the words, not of all the queries, that is being used. But otherwise you're correct, and in other reports it makes the sense you think it should make. :-) -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
