Try to search that famous Shakesperean quote: to be or not to be
You\'ll never find it! But try it using the following:: \"+to +be +or +not +to +be\" . You\'ll have Shakespeare at your hands.

Hi Marijke,
In my opinion, the \'hacks\' on that website are not \'hacks\' but just plain common sense. I would certainly not spend money on a book with more of the same.
