Hi guys, an idea that I remembered after playing the highest searched game, lets try the lowest searched game. The idea is that that you have to find a word that has only one google result (a google bomb). You are allowed to use "" in your attempt.

Edit: We are now looking for the lowest serch count possible because a single number seems imposible.

If we fail to find any then I may change it to 2 words in combination.

Before anyone points out that google bombing isnt the correct word for this game, then either suggest a better one or dont complain, its the one our IT teacher used when we played this game.

If I write a nonexistent word here for the first time I should get 1 results.
e.g AlexGTVee

EDIT: That didn't work out...
EDIT2: Oh yes it did, it just took some time. :)

I don't think this is going to work with just one word. I tried "distinguishingly" and got 28,600 results. They're all dictionary/thesaurus/reference results, and it's not even a word in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Unless you try some nonsense word or intentionally misspell something, the chances of getting 1 result with a real word are virtually zero.
 
1 sounds near impossible, why don't we shoot for the lowest we can find?

That's not a google bomb, it's more of a googlewhack, but that requires 2 words.
 
Google Bombing is having a bunch of people search one random thing to get it to the most searched list.
Googlewhacking is trying to find two legitamite words that return with only one result. Thing is though, when someone publishes something saying "I found one! It's 'Tonys underhair'"
Then there will be another result. Before this post. There were only two results for "Tonys underhair". With this post coming live, there will be three :D

Omg.. I'm so slow at posting! Tree'd :dunce:

As I noted in the first post. Do you have a better word?

I now open it up to the lowest number possible due to the reasons stated above.
 
If it wasn't for a bearded man "Francophile Namesakes" would be one.

To make it more interesting see if anyone can find a googlewhack from GTPlanet :dopey:
 
"archies tumbleweed"

Do I win?
Only 1 result.

^279,000 results, are you mad? :lol:
 
Does it need to show one's word in the title of the results or is it just the overall search count?
 
"archies tumbleweed"

Do I win?
Only 1 result.

Your search doesn't work anymore, BUT I have used yours, so you get most of the credit.
Here it is "archies tumblewizz" Notice how i just changed one part?

I guess it's not a real word, but it has 1 result!
 
"archies tumbleweed" still has just 1 result
 
If fligugigoo was a word, it'd be my best attempt, at 5, 1 of them being from me on this site, and others about Tenacious D, in Tribute :lol:
 
I got 1 hit.
Use "white fox" in german, if i spelt the word it would no longer be 1 hit.
 
Neoplasmatic Subfusion has 1 result without this post.

Type in random-y sounding science words and it works.
 
Not really a word and thus does not count but click. But this one is! If you are wondering why, look and see it for yourself.
