pretty good actually, no stats to back it up just real world experience is you're 
gonna get *sumthin*. BTW using Google, if no result then you may get a 
suggestion that your spelling is wrong.

Of course there is the opposite, looking for single words or two words that only 
one search result can be found; a way cool time waster for the literai called 
google whacking, and there is a site devoted to that of course:

My only find so far was from a local Bowen Island web site, (small world):
"Hermanetical mnemonic"
