For the confused from wiki:
A Googlewhack is a kind of a contest for finding a Google search query consisting of exactly two words without quotation marks, that return exactly one hit. A Googlewhack must consist of two actual words found in a dictionary. A Googlewhack is considered legitimate if both of the searched-for words appear as live links in Answers.com in the blue bar above the Google results.

Also the rules for finding such a thing

Why I bring this up is I have been trying and either end up with regular pages with closest I get being zero or numbers in the double or triple digits.

I think together we can find one.

Even better, let's try to find one on SydLexia.com!

I heard about this a while ago, the guy that came up with it (or just a really good whacker) was on one of the late night talk shows.

I think you are thinking of Dave Gorman.

Best I can get so far is 4 results. +ptolemaic +marionberry. I got a result with just 1 hit (+underextended +shiitake) but I don't think underextended is a legit word. I keep running into the problem of my results popping up different websites that have full lists of scrabble dictionaries. As a avid scrabble player I am sure that there is many websites that contain the full text, on one page, of SOWPODS and TWL among other dictionaries. And the Scrabble dictionaries are nearly exhaustive.

If you find a single result search and post it here, it will no longer be a single result search.

Screen Cap it when you get one. Also word lists don't count.

The problem is that if you have to use dictionary word, you will always hit wordlists.

I've tried this before, attempting to exhaust my vocabulary. It's fucking hard.
