You're obviously not vb6 programmers at Google, it kept changing vb6 to 'visual basic' making trying to fix obscure behaviours in vb6 really hard to do because all it would find are vb .net results after the switch.

I had a couple of very unproductive days before working out how to force it to stop changing my search terms.

Guilty as charged. :-)

I could see how vb6/"visual basic" would cause some irrelevant results to come up. It's probably good sometimes, but also really bad sometimes. I've recorded it in our list of motivational examples that we use to try to come up with improvements to our algorithm. Thanks, and sorry for your wasted productivity.
