Googlewhack
Published by marco on
Googlewhacking—finding a search combination that returned exactly one hit—used to be all the rage, with some people devoting astonishing amounts of time to it, only to report it on a blog, have Google index it, immediately invalidating it (because now there are two results). Below is one that I stumbled on recently:
At the time (May 12th, 2007), it returned exactly one result and, amazingly, has stood the test of time, returning only one relevant result today (as shown below):
Clicking for more relevant results shows a whole bunch of links from the same page, but reaching it from different addresses, so, though it’s probably no longer a googlewhack, it’s not bad considering how often Google indexes the web today as compared to a few years ago.
