(The "+" is a modifier for Google that allows you to give Google TWO terms to search for together, usually a better result than just a few words and a single topic. topic 1 + topic 2 type of thing.

Does the "+" really do anything?
Put the example search into google with or without the "+" finds exactly the same results.

Maybe it works differently but rysnc and "debian sarge" just happens to find the same results with either method?
