I just ran a test with both IR6 and Firebird 0.7 and saw absolutely no difference.

I did find "goole.com" highly ranked, though!!!

On the one hand, Goole is a shuddersome place, about 20 miles up the road from here (Hull) towards Leeds on the M62. It's a dead-end place, with a serious herion problem, and is dominated by a large chinmney that is shaped almost exactly like a...well, see the attachment.

HOWEVER, jolity and insults aside, take another look at the results - why the heck should "goole.com" be rated so high in a search for Google? It's a poor PR4 site, does not mention "Google" anywhere, and even uses "Ask Jeeves" as the site search engine. A quick look at the backlinks shows only one immediate example of "Goole" being mis-spelled "Google". It would be very interesting indeed if Google's Applied Semantics tech is reading "Google" as a mis-spelling for "Google", and therefore returning it as a relevant result. I'm going to need to look into this further.

Oh - and here's a pic from the net of Google...er, I mean Goole's...big chimney.
