Mudcat seems to behave very curiously in relation to Google. I have just been playing around, trying to make sense of it.
For example: there is a thread on Mudcat entitled "William Irwin Lake District Fiddler". But if you google on the exact phrase "William Irwin Lake District Fiddler", it doent find that thread.
For example: there is plenty of discussion of the Boat Band's CD "A Trip to the Lakes" on Mudcat. But if you google on( "Trip to the Lakes" mudcat )it wont find it.
For example: I have discussed the tunes "Queen of the May" and "Kendal Waltz" on Mudcat. Googling on( "queen of the may" mudcat "greg stephens" )will find that discussion. Googling on( "kendal waltz" mudcat "Greg stephens" )wont.
I was just playing around with threads I know contain certain words. Presumably these sorts of strange discrepancies will occur with anything people choose to play with.
So how does Mudcat interact with Google? Is there s ome way of explaining this odd behaviour? By the way, all ( and ) marks above weren't anything I put into google, just ways of showing what I actually typed into the"include all words" box in the advanced search section
