Google searches whole strings of words for hits?

bytech · 04-08-2004, 05:22 PM

I was going through our traffic logs, and noticed someone searched for Bytech at google.com. While I knew we're on page 1, I wanted to see what position. When I clicked on the search term, we came up in spot 1... I noticed that BYTECH was highlighted (bolded) in our URL which is bytechcanada.net.

Looks like Google doesn't check for spaces anymore? They just check the whole string? It would make for nicer URL, as people would stop putting in dashes into their domain names.

Anyone who can confirm or disspell my theory?

Cheers.

This subject has been beaten to death already in another forum.

Well we Canucks have to stick together. And you can call me Bob.

Ah, yes indeed (waving Canadian flag out the window)!
Anyway, I shouldn't wave anything out the window in my area, but hey! I like to live dangerously.

Is it mosquitos or frost bite you are worried about?

Drive by shootings. But, this summer I'm moving up. Moving out, and moving up. Yeah. At last! Good bye crappy part of town. Right now no more frostbite, and the mosquitoes are still sleeping happily, dreaming of all the blood they'll suck this year.
