The google result isn't totally fair. As you can see, it will show 59 results and you have to re-research to see the omitted similar results.
If you do this, you will see that for instance result 47, 48, 54, 55 seems to point to pages that looks identic (I haven't actually spent time seeing if they are, they have identical summaries in the search results).
Many other searze should be done based on uniqe pages as in most ch engines wont't show these at all as they probably are removed at an earlier stage.
Now, this might of course be a usefull feature in some very special cases, but any comparison in size should be based on uniqe pages, as duplicates is mostly a bad thing.
No, according to googles documentation on the web, they will never search "the" no matter what you do.
Queries like:
"+the +man +followed +the +horse" or
"+find +the +fish"
shows this very well.
(I have a distinct feeling that I found some other words they ignored as well once earlier, but don't remember now)
A quick test amongst the big search engines reveals that only altavista and www.alltheweb.com seems to do searches without any stop words.

you can do "the +who" and at least search for the word "who" at google, but that won't really give you what you want either.
Try alltheweb.com instead.
