[Air-l] counting google hits

[Alan Sondheim]

I think pretty much everyone does that. You can also use the syntax
define:word
in the google web entry and it will give you a series of definitions.

Get Google Hacks 2nd Edition (O'Reilly); it has an enormous amount of 
information on Google and the various ways to access/modify it.
