Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Searches on OTN
Google is really a killer app, at least for me.
Since english is not my native language, I even check correct spelling or phrase wording from there. I just type in the variants I think should be correct and use the one which gives me most of hits. For example "all of above" gives 18000 hits, but "all of the above" gives 1200000, so I know the latter should be correct.
They guys who will earn billions during the IPO, have really earned it :)
