Huh???

Mr. Dog runs his own website http://www.bcradiohistory.com which is completely separate from RadioWest.

What he has posted is the answer to the question "What do people type into the Google Internet search engine that leads them to click on a Google link to find his website?"

I scratched my head when I say "in" and "and" appearing in the list. Until I realized that a phrase is defined in Google as:
the-quick-brown-fox
or
"the quick brown fox" (with the quotes around it)

Whereas, if someone typed in (to Google)
the quick brown fox (without the quotes)
that would be considered a search for each of the words, rather than a phrase. Obviously, several things were typed in like that that contained "in" or "and".
