Hey folks, something I just noticed when doing a search in Google, I think this is pretty new but only ntoiced it today.
if you do a search in Google with 'or' in it, underneath the search box you get this message: 'Lowercase "or" was ignored. Try "OR" to search for either of two terms'. Interesting...
So basically if you do the 'OR' command between two keywords, it combines the results and searches for keyword1 or keyword2 seperately rather than keyword1 keyword2.

hmmm... very interesting. But then again, I don't recall ever actually doing a many searches using Boolean operators myself...but to make them case sensitive is a little bizarre for laymen.
It is possible for "those that know" that they are expected to be uppercase. Maybe it's always been this way?
I guess we need to check the following:
& or && for OR as these are often used in programming languages.
