Query injection?

[seeker42]

Hi All,

Just curious about a quirk I observed about Google search page...

Try it out:
search for "create table syntax" (with the quotes) [0.14 sec to return records]
search "create" or "table" or "syntax" (with or without quotes) all return fine...
Now try 'create table syntax' (without the quotes)... the page never returns!
'syntax' can be replaced with any other word... and same issue persists.

Is this documented somewhere??? I would like to know why it happens.

Regards

i tried all of it and its normal.. you use some other characters in your query.. they have different purpose in searching....

Read more about it... Google Search Guide

Sorry to sound repetitive... I looked at the page you mentioned... under the "Choosing search terms" section, it gives the example of "vacation Hawaii golf"

replace the three words in there with the three words below:
create table Hawaii

The page never returns... it seems like there is something more to it and it has to do with the two words "create" and "table" and a random third word
