    HA! That’s not yet happened to me but just the mere thought of this is funny. It’s odd enough when you’re the first result for a random subject that you would expect to have a few hundred hits before listing your site, but to be the first and ONLY? Too hilarious!

    Well, we have the only listing with our name in the local telephone book, but Blurbomat/Dooce is the only one in the world?
    This is clear evidence–One of a Kind.

    Don’t you hate it when you click the link to the article and then only truly understand the first 3 lines? Yeah. Ok, I understood the last 2 as well.

    No way, don’t hate that! But do wonder why you’re the only one who has used the word “decrufted”.

    Boise is only about 4 hours away actually.

    And yeah, I hate it when I click on a link and then immediately close the page because I’m afraid of being rendered even dumber than when I was when I opened the page.

    Ha ha, yeah… gotta love that. That’s why some of my colleauges think concept search engines are better than google. But google and I can usually come to some kind of arrangement. I do most of the compromising of course.

    Maybe using wildcards would work better. Like this:
    de-cruft* url* in mt

    And making the context ‘in mt’ work (and not voiding the ‘in’) by putting the phrase in double quotes
    de-cruft* url* “in mt”

  • http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=cruft+url+%22in+mt%22 Sheryl

    Not knowing what you were casting for, this might be a better string than the one I just suggested since prefixes and suffixes are somewhat new to the root cruft wrt “in mt”:
    *cruft* url* “in mt”

    [sorry to be such a dork, and tho it is v likely you know these techniques — I share with others when possible since they increase the search power of the average bear exponentially.]

    I’m slightly disappointed in your nerd powers. You used the word “in” on Google. “In” is a very common word, and was not included in your search. Faux pas, Jon. Very faux pas.

    Inmate, you are not the only one.
