Google Searches.

1. I just did a web search on Horein (a surname) +"Nova Scotia"
I got 38 hits and while most of them contained both terms one of the
hits was a "Pennsylvania German Passenger Lists, Dragon 1742".
While it did contain Horein is did not contain Nova Scotia.

2. I have done a number of searches with multiple terms, say 5, and
the results may contain one or two of the terms but the context of
the result does not seem to support all the terms.

Does web-search have an upper limit on the number of terms it searches
for?

I got 1,030 results doing a search on Horein "Nova Scotia"

What is the URL of the result without Nova Scotia?

It has been my experience that when using multiple search terms
web-search will list the hits with all terms first and then hits with
all terms minus 0ne, then minus 2, etc. until it lists all of them
with any one of the terms. I usually use three terms max.

web-search sorts returns by how many of the words tend to
appear along with a score based upon how many other sites link to
the site.

If you want only "ALL" the words, try the "advanced search"
link... Though that too may not be fully effective; web-search seems to
also indicate when a site have many references to any of the terms
using an indented summary below the primary listing.

If that is the 1749 (2) page then Nova Scotia is on the left side of
the page - a clickable link

One of the annoying things about hit lists - a page may contain
nothing on the item you want in conjunction with another item except
a link elsewhere which was not what we want
