This is odd. I checked it yesterday with the term in quotation marks and 
got 2.1 million. You get 337 today, but I get:

Results 1 - 10 of about 63,100 English pages for "wolfram alpha". (0.17 
seconds)


So it changes from 337, to 63,100 to 2.1 million. I've no idea why that 
is. I'm using the double-quote opperators -i.e "   which I think is the 
correct thing to do.
