If you're talking about new pages only, it might be OK but it depends
how long search strings are -- is it looking for 7 words in a row that
are identical, 10 words, or 50?

I've always held that anything over 5-6 words is plagiarism, unless it
is quoted. Quotations are fair use provided they are cited appropriately.
Then again, if someone changes every seventh word, in a sentance of 25
words, that's still 14-18 words ripped straight from another source.
