Andy,
Interesting indeed.  I have done a little experimenting since your post.  If I 
just search on "Matthew and Bacchi" I get many posts, with duplicates.  Here 
is one particular selection, a single post that shows up twice.  Notice how 
it has two different confidence levels for the same posting, wierd.

But if I search for "Matthew AND Bacchi" I get fewer responses, and none are 
duplicates.  It appears to me that over the years I have been using this 
search without the keyword "AND" in caps.  For whatever reason, the search 
engine interprets this differently than I expected.  Does this appear to be 
normal behavior to you?  The strange part is though, why would the lower case 
word "and" cause the engine to spit out the same post twice?

If the maintainer does follow this discussion, maybe they would like to 
comment.
