Google Basterds

Since Liberman at LL just re-confirmed "the observation that Google counts no longer have even order-of-magnitude comparative validity in matters of usage (if they ever did)," I thought I'd pass along my own latest discovery: Google double quotes are not as restrictive in queries as they're claimed to be. From Google's support page:

Phrase search ("")
By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary. By insisting on phrase search you might be missing good results accidentally. For example, a search for [ "Alexander Bell" ] (with quotes) will miss the pages that refer to Alexander G. Bell.

But this is not what it seems...
