    		This source says the word "yahoo" beats the word "google".
    yahoo: 2,920,000,000
    google: 2,710,000,000

    I tried and didn't get close to those numbers.

    		Google hits very from place to place, for reasons I don't understand. I know that when I google certain words I get different results from those obtained by my US-based family.

    Google gave me about 2,010,000,000; Yahoo about 1,600,000,000. I didn't find any other words of more than five letters that came close to these figures, although shop yielded 1,180,000,000.

    		I just wondered this when finding that (currently, on my computer in the UK at least) "Facebook", with 2,060 million hits had more hits than "Google" with a paltry 1,950 million hits.
