I get 2370 hits for "Type A MCB".

That's strange. I get 6,790,000 hits, none of which relates to Type A MCBs - well, not the first page.

Add the quote marks John used to search and you'll see it drop to 2370, it's to do with the way Googles algorithms work. Always use quote marks for vague search terms

So do I (well, 6,530,000 hits) if I don't include the quotation marks. Try again, typing literally ... "Type A MCB" (with the quotation marks).

Kind Regards, John

Oh thanks, didn't know that - but you knew that.

you can also use - to ignore certain criteria, for example, ' "type A MCB" -siemens ' would just show you results that relate to "type A MCB' but ignores those results that include siemens. Assuming Google has crawled the word Siemens in it's crawl of the site/page

Always use quote marks for vague search terms

Not for vague terms - the quotation marks mean that it must match exactly.

Sorry, I meant, if you're searching for something in particular that contains non-specific words, like "type A MCB" it's gonna pick up loads of useless stuff because of the amount of pages containing those words, but not actually relating to a type A MCB

Anyone think EFL'S eye is a bit spooky

It's useful to know - your 6+ million hits probably included everything which included the word 'type', everything which included 'MCB' and possibly even (although they probably exclude it from searches!), everything which included 'A' (or 'a')!! With the quotes, it searches only for occurrences of the exact complete phrase within the quotation marks.

Kind Regards, John
