I think it's been done before here but let's revamp it.

Rules: Using only home key letters (no semi colons allowed), come up with a phrase that returns 0 google results, so you have access to: asdfjkl (no spaces allowed)

Once you've found a shorter one than the previous short one, post the URL to it.

A successful search will be one where no results or any suggested results come up.

Eventually though if people post the phrase here it'll probably be archived on Google for that phrase, so that won't count against you.

For the simplest URLs just put the search query after this part:

http://www.google.com/search?q=

The best part is there's no way to Google for a solution, since if it's on Google it'll be archived anyway.

Begin!

7 letters, but I'm sure there are shorter solutions. I found this one in like 30 seconds.

EDIT: Shit, just noticed the letter p. Hang on.

EDIT: New solution, still 7 letters. dlsflkk

P is not in the home row :)

I know, I tried to ninja-edit, but not fast enough. But I found another 7 letter solution.

This game is weird. It can't suggest a search? Some of your examples in the top suggest a search for me.

You win, thread over!

Is a 6 letter result possible using all letters? Numbers even?

I believe that 6 may be possible. I found about 10 with less than 10 results. I wouldn't bet on it though.

You tied. The game is to get zero results.

that brings up zero results...wait, what?

You're not the only one that got zero results for a 7 character combo.

DingDingDao got it first.

getting 0 results with 7 characters is easy, I found a few but didn't bother to post it here since I'm trying for 6 but it seems impossible.
