Today I was more lucky ...I searched for pine and got more than 20 000
results .. I tried then to connect the words to search for, i.e. to
specify my search: I tried to search for 'pine AND pfeiffer' or 'pine
+pfeiffer' or terms similar to these and never got a hit with both terms
in it on the first hits, sometimes even no hits at all...
I had more luck as to narrowing the search with google ...
Regards.
