\/ /-\ /\/ | 7 ¥

So we had to do a vanity search thing on Monday, a vanity search being a web search for your name. So first we got the search - "Lukas Grove" - and I got the first result from the UWT website for working at the school newspaper.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Lukas+Grove%22
Next I tried without quotes: - Lukas Grove -
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lukas+grove
I still got `Me` from the UWT website, woohoo! I'm number one! heh.
Next I went for just - Lukas - and:
http://www.google.com/search?q=lukas&num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&start=900&sa=N&filter=0
I quickly went through with a search of 'UWT' for 10 pages of 100 results each (Google limits you to 1000 results that are shown) so apparently I'm not in the top 1000 for my first name, ohwell.
For my research query, I looked up on Google information on sugar batteries that they are working on:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=sugar+battery&hl=en&lr=
Got some interesting results.
Shopping query:
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=QX6800&hl=en&btnG=Search
(The new intel chip, which from what I quickly found, cost about two and a half human souls ($1400) or so)
Contact query:
Google has a residential phone book which hasn't been completed yet, to find it type in the search bar rphonebook: (first last) name and it'll go to it. So far, I haven't had any luck with it though, so here's me in the dexonline (and this was assuming I could find it, which apparently I can't, can't even find my parents number...)
Anyways,
Definition query:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+mendacious
I use google (define 'word') to define mendacious.
So I guess that concludes my search session.

Heh, it would have taken me forever to decode "\/ /-\ /\/ | 7 ¥" if I hadnt known your post was about Vanity searches. Anyway, thats amazing that you still come up first even if you just type in your first and last name.
