LexisNexis, it's kind of an industrial strength Google

Starting at 1:00 Keith Olberman tells the story of Justice Department lawyer Monica Goodling's LexisNexis search while investigating the political backgrounds of job applicants. (Yep, that's illegal.) The best part is when Olberman reads the complete search syntax starting at 1:35. (Stick though for the other searches Olberman suggests.)
