[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Google and aboutness

[Edward M. Corrado]

I received 38 hits after I asked Google to show all results. I'm not 
sure how Google figures out its about, but I often fiind it off by a 
little bit.... For example, I just did a search for
 
    "northville-lake placid trail" site:gov

and am looking at records 21-28 of about 27.
