Why? Did you just skip the statement

Someone just ported Clara OCR. You should have need the VOICE news
posting.

I guess so, since you never asked why I typed need rather than read. The
reason is because I often forget to proof-read when I an working fast. :-)

Sheesh. Must be time for some remedial Google usage training. Try

"OS/2" Clara OCR

Then click on any of the first 5 or 6 hits. Easy enough?

To understand why this works so well, you need to understand that Google
can not read your mind. If you want OS/2 specific links, you need to ask
for them.

In this case, the quotes, don't seem to affect the results that much, but
in general Google ignores unquoted punctuation characters. Also, quoted
strings implicitly have a leading + which means the string must appear in
the hit. See the Google help pages for more details.
