   In the meantime, i took a stab of a "pure" Excel program to get the data.

   Whatever you do and more eXplicity how you do the search, it yields 
results that i do not see.

   Manually downloading the first page for a manual search, I get:

5960 REGULATOR AND "ELECTRON TUBE"
       About 922 results (1 ms)
5960-00-503-9529
5960-00-504-8401
5960-01-035-3901
5960-01-029-2766

5960-00-962-5391
5960-00-944-4671
5960-00-897-8418
	and
5960 AND REGULATOR AND "ELECTRON TUBE"
       About 104 results (16 ms)
5960-00-503-9529
5960-00-504-8401

5960-00-962-5391
5960-00-944-4671
5960-00-897-8418

   Note they are very different, and the second search "gets" a a lot less.
   Also neither search gets anything you got, and i am interested in how 
you did it.
