[Hidden-tech] Number of Google search results for a phrase - NOT the number of searches

[David Ruderman]

Odd, because when I search Google Chrome for "catfish hunter" (who BTW is
an old ball player and not a famous fisherman), I clearly see info at the
top of the search results:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22catfish+hunter%22
About 356,000 results (0.57 seconds)

The same is true for me for other queries.
