I think it is important for us to differentiate between what *we* have always thought, and what the writers of the particular books which were searched thought! I'm curious how the search works too... is it looking for word combinations that are exact, as in "bobbin lace" but not "lace bobbin"? Or is it searching for sentences that contain both words, but not necessarily together? All of these things make a huge difference.

Could somebody tell me the difference between bobbin- and pillow-lace.
Do they mean Teneriffe-lace? Or is pillow-lace the sum of needle- and 
bobbin-lace? Both are made on a pillow, needle lace in another sort of pillow 
ok. Only machine-lace isn't done on a pillow.
