My playing around with using Google to find pages containing spelling errors got me thinking. Google currently claims it searches 1,346,966,000 web pages. Obviously, a search for a less-commonly used word or phrase will return fewer results than a search for an everyday term. But what is the greatest number of results you can get Google to return? It won't bother searching for words like "the", "why" and "what". But a search for them returns 73,100,000 results. Google finds 113,000,000 pages containing there, 114,000,000 containing free, 130,000,000 pages containing they; and it returns a whopping 214,000,000 for home.

Can you beat that?
