Biggest Google search result?

Vask3n

Via some Google hacking I learned from the beginning of Syngress' book, "Google Hacking," I created the following search query. Can someone top this, and create a search that yields more results?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2Ba&btnG=Google+Search

For those who may not know, since Google automatically omits some words such as "a", "the" and "of" this search query tells Google to indeed include "a" and show me every site in Google's knowledge that has the word "a" in it.

Happy Googling!

Tip: Save time by hitting the return key instead of clicking on "search"

I liked that

"about 25,270,000,000 for +a. (0.22 seconds)"

The 0.22 seconds to find 25 billion hits is impressive. Now if they could only make gmail accessibility a little faster.

SafeSearch Help
Many Google users prefer not to have adult sites included in their search results. Google's SafeSearch screens for sites that contain this type of information and eliminates them from search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, Google's filter uses advanced proprietary technology that checks keywords and phrases, URLs and Open Directory categories.
When SafeSearch is turned on, sites and web pages containing pornography and explicit sexual content are blocked from search results. Google strives to keep the filtering information as current and comprehensive as possible through continual crawling of the Web and by incorporating updates from user suggestions. If you find sites that contain offensive content in your results, even with SafeSearch activated, please contact us and we will investigate it. If your website appears to be filtered by SafeSearch and you do not believe that it should be, please write to the same address as well

Definately do! So that would explain the lower results.....not the quick drop in total hits, but certainly why my results were lower then JD's
