Googlewhack

[MarkRae]

A Googlewhack is a search on Google which returns only one result. These are extremely rare because as soon as one is pointed out on a website, that site gets indexed and is added to the result of the search, thereby killing the googlewhack.

Anyway, 5a in today's Times crossword contains a word I'd never heard before. I won't write it out as that would kill the googlewhack staightaway, but if you go to Google and do a search for the text below without the spaces you'll see it. Quick before it goes!
