How do you spell ‘Subtlety’?
Here is a simple but nifty tool that might save you a click per day: WebSource.it.
All it does is submit two queries to Google and get you the total number of results for each query. No actual search results but just two numbers. This is useful for some people who use Google to determine how words are spelled or to find out which product is more popular.
As the site explains “Is it privilege or priviledge? Away from or away of? Microsoft rocks or Microsoft sucks?”
The service is simple and cute and I enjoyed playing with it for a few minutes. I don’t think it will replace Answers.com for me but maybe it will settle a few office discussions. Either way, I now finally know how to spell my own name…
Saved searches don’t seem to work – but did you try hitting the TAB [->] key after you enter the second term? Yes – a third term to compare appears… then a fourth…
You can compare a whole set of terms – there are about seven different spellings of my name.
Thanx for the write up Boris, glad you find it useful.
David, you can create a link of the form websource.it/search/term1/term2, this will always work, and you can utilize it to access results directly from your address bar.
You may find more info on the concept in my personal blog :)
Thanks George – yeah – it works!

It reminds me of preople, where you could check how popular you were in comparison to other people
Brilliant! I use Google for this all the time. This saves me at least 10 clicks a day. Thanks.
