I didnt analyze the results as mcuh as I was looking for a way to measure the queries. I will go back and look at the overlap. The point I was going for was that we need to write more precise search strings and if we would have written the query right the first time we wouldn't have seen the first results which would make the overlap a moot point. I do see your logic though, now that is there lets evaluate that too. Great comments. Moises Hi Ravi,
