Testing, it appears that the who/what/where/when makes no difference on the results you get back and so I'm left to assume that it is only used for googlism to clump "popular" queries into groups.

It also doesn't appear to be required. I don't particularly like using up so many words for so little functionality. I don't think it makes total sense to have a link that can get clicked over and over be a candidate for becoming a "popular query". And I don't think the words are mnemonic for googlism nor vice versa.

So I'd be more inclined to have a single [googlism://...] link type instead. I just worry that they'll get tired of people thwarting their cute "popular query" compiling and make the type required one day. Oh well, they'll likely change the interface in some other way one day anyway (or just disappear)...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
