Well, DDG claims to be an anonymous amalgamater (their IP address shows up in the search engines, not yours.)
Neither the google search page nor the advanced search page has a verbatim option. One of the reasons I hate google is their propensity to hide useful features when the don't take them away entirely. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

But if you're just looking for "search for the words I asked for", you can click "verbatim" on Google. And if, like me, you run without cookies and without logging in, the results should be impartial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
