Default Challenge: Google Fight

http://www.googlefight.com

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.
