Went online recently to find muslin backdrops to use for a photo session at my church. The search brought up "muslim". Whomever wrote those must not know the difference between muslin and muslim. Found it quite amuzing.

That problem and the some of the old search engines you used to be able to say "word1+word2+word3" and the would only give you pages that contained all three words (+ was 'and'). They come up with too much garbage now.

Using "quotations" around a word sometimes helps.
Boolean search.

"muslin" worked, it brought up links to some fabric stores, like joann.

But the fabric is muslin, not Muslim. No matter where it's from.
