		vaporstun on Nov 15, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Steve Jobs biography -- Isaacson blew it A Google search is hardly the way to resolve that. OS X searches for anything with OS or X whereas OSX only searches for things with OSX so of course the former has more hits. I mean you're right that it's technically "OS X", but your methodology for proof is flawed.

a search for:

os x

does what you say, but a search for

"os x"

does what the GP says, and matches with the numbers cited, too.
