Tool Searches Many Google Servers at Once

(Thanks to TVC for the alert about this one.) According to http://fergusons.dk/tools/google.php, Google provides search results from several different servers, www, www1, www2, and www3. A tool available at the above URL apparently queries all four of these servers at once and provides the search results in a four-frame result page that reminds me of a slot machine.

I ran some searches using this tool (if you want to try it yourself DON'T use quotes; it doesn't like quotes) and got some interesting results:

fred: 4,460,000, 4,460,000, 5,140,000, 4,460,000
neurophysiology imaging: 17,500, 17,500, 18,100, 17,500
glassine fabrication system: 47, 47, 48, 47
ultralight regulatory adherent: 2, 2, 2, 2

I'm not sure what this means, but it's an interesting tool to play with.
