RE: Pleasurable typo (and the horror of Google)

["Boudreaux, Madelyn (GE Healthcare, consultant)" <MadelynBoudreaux -at- ge -dot- com>]

Someone, I'm not sure whom because I deleted the message sorry, said:

>There would appear to be no syntax, no way of stating the pattern,

This search: "X ray" -xray
Netted different results than: "x ray"
But "x ray" got the same results as x ray and x-ray and "x-ray". 

Sincerely,
Madelyn Boudreaux-ray!
