Do it without quote marks.

Applying quotes to Don's search -- "Plastic Bag Pollution in the Ocean" -- gave this result: 4 results in 0.21 seconds. So, obviously, Don didn't use quotes to get his results. So, to get an accurate comparison, I did the same and left off the quotes. You said: "Well that's my point. Do it without quotation marks and you get every article with the words balls, aliens, etc.. in it." Well that's MY point, too. Run Don's search without the quotes (which is how he ran it) and you get every article with the words plastic, bag, etc., in it. In other words (I can't believe I'm spelling all this out and ruining my perfectly witty riposte), Don's Google search means nothing.
