Not really knowing anything about how spotlight works and not much
about how Google works, (big assumption follows) I imagine that the
results to a search such as Woody Allen would be sorted by
relevance. Therefore documents which contained the string "Woody
Allen" would appear at the top of the results list, followed by
documents containing both "Woody" and "Allen", followed by documents
containing only "Woody", followed by documents containing only
"Allen". The last two are questionable as it depends on whether
the two terms are AND-ed or OR-ed. Assuming this is the case, the
search for Woody Allen would return the document you are looking for in
the top of a list of many results and all searching for the string
"Woody Allen" would do is return less results. The
user-friendliness of this interface is probably debatable and I imagine
this was probably a good debate among the Tiger
developers/marketers/etc. <br>
