Statistics: June
A log is kept of the options and results for each random search. I wrote a small visual
basic program to analyse everything based on the data from the past 30 days.

Website URL hits
The root URL was counted for each site visited. For example,
If a web site address 'www.news.com/paper/june/00232.html'
was hit, only 'www.news.com' was counted.
** Note that the site
wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de contains a 10000+ word list of the english language,
and so this page is generally found if an odd combination of rarely used words are
used in the search.
Top-level domain hits
The top-level domains (.com, .edu, .org, etc) in the web URLs were counted.
Not surprisingly .com makes up the majority of hits. Limiting the search
to a specific country really doesn't have much bearing on the top-level domain,
as I believe the Google regional searches are based on the country of registration,
not the domain name.

** Once again the site
wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de is from the .de top-level domain, and therefore
artificially inflated the number of times a .de site was hit from 2 to 25.
Domain File Extension Names
**Added July 31**
The filetypes that were used in the URL were counted. .html and .htm make up
more than 70% of all the filetypes encountered. Many sites only had a root URL and
no filetype to show.

'Country' and 'Language' options used:
The language option was hardly used, and when it was, only english was chosen.
Mangle is very good at finding non-english websites when only 1-word searches are
used, you should try it! The country option was used a little, as shown below.

The number of times that, within a single search using 2-5 words, one word
from the database was repeated within that search:
Zero. It is extremely unlikely that this would occur, as the probability of the same word used in a 2-word
search is 1 in 51 million, and in a 5-word search, 1 in 5 million.
