Comment on Google announces 50 search changes implemented in March

A very brief test indicates that search strings containing "Cocoa Webview" no longer return a bunch of useless crap* about Android webviews with the word "Cocoa" nowhere to be seen on the page. If that's the case: it's about time.

*"Useless crap" is context-sensitive, of course -- no disrespect toward Android intended, but I go to the trouble of including "Cocoa" in my search Google shouldn't be giving me pages that don't even contain that word. It might be different if it were smart enough to just give you Objective C or iOS-focused pages that included "Webview", but not Cocoa, since there's at least some probability that those pages would be of interest. However, it wasn't that smart.
