Here's the challenge:
Select two phrases that have the smallest percentage difference between their results (ie the closest possible matchup).
Calculate the percentage difference as follows:
(x-y)
--------- * 100
(x+y)/2
Take the absolute value of the answer.
My record so far is 0.225%. Beat this and post the phrases used.

Phrase 1: canada a
Phrase 2: windows
No quotation marks on either.
GoT, you tried way too hard to get 0%. Try "Guy on tilt" vs. "Guy on tilt"

Oh, they both returned no hits? Doesn't that result in a division by zero at some point in the formula. (I'm too lazy to open a new widow to see the formula the OP posted).
I guess your sucker bet experience with El Diablo has you shooting all the angles now /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Edit - I just went to the sight, I thought this was looking for the closest results (i.e. most common set of hits), but apparetnly, I was just wrong.

nice!
We need to somehow scale this to average number of hits, so that really close for 1M hits is better than perfect for 1 hit.
WTF am I wasting time with this???? meh, e slap me.

This is actually 0.462%
2170000-2160000 = 10,000
2,170,000+2,160,000 / 2 = 2,165,000
10,000 / 2,165,000 = 0.0046189376443418013856812933025404
