I tried them as a list first, using your asterisks, and it shot out
(converting Cyrillic for those who can't read it): "* * Peter Norton
nabokov 50mb * * * google yahoo" -- which is pretty strange, but I
figured part of the weirdness was due to the fact that it's
processing the words (incorrectly, as it turns out) as a phrase,
instead of as separate entities. So I put a period after each one,
and got "* Peter Norton. * nabokov. * 50mb. * yahoo. * google." But
when I tried putting in each one by itself, the results were fairly
ordinary.
(At first I thought by "noting the case" you meant to look at the
grammatical case of the output, but now I see you meant upper vs.
lower case.)
