[AccessD] Scirus Scientific Search Engine

Well, it certainly cut the crap out for me.  I get a plain white IE page
with the message "Done" in the status bar.  Not terribly useful, but a
lot cleaner than a google search!  LOL

Hi all

Are you aware of the scientific search engine Scirus:

It can be quite useful when you wish you could "cut the crap" from a
Google search. The crap is often caused by this "feature" which few know
about:

Hi Gustav,

Thank you for your note. Sometimes when you search for an exact phrase,
you will not find an exact match anywhere on the page in question. When
this occurs, if you look at Google's cached copy of the page you should
see a message in the upper left-hand area of the page that says, "These
terms only appear in links pointing to this page." In evaluating the
merit of a page, Google looks not only at information found on the page
itself, but also the anchor text of links that point to the page. If
links pointing to the page contain the exact phrase you searched on,
this can cause a page to be returned as a match for your query.  

We hope this explanation helps to clarify our phrase search procedure.

Regards,
The Google Team
