Earlier today, I put the search terms "dr who" into my MSN toolbar and got
the following results:

1. www.drdemento.com
2. www.drphil.com
3. www.drstrings.com
4. www.drmenlo.com
5. www.drjoy.com
6. drbronner.com
7. www.dr69.info
8. drsanity.blogspot.com
9. dr1.com
10. www.dr-dre.com

Google gave me these:

1. www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho
2. www.gallifreyone.com
3. nitro9.earth.uni.edu/doctor/homepage.html
4. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who
5. www.imdb.com/title/tt0056751
6. www.physics.mun.ca/~sps/drwho.html
7. www.scifi.com/doctorwho

Does Microsoft have some sort of boycott against Doctor Who or something??

LOL! I'm quite sure that MSN Search has no problems with Doctor Who, but I did
find that I got results on the query that would be more to you liking by
searching for "dr who" - including the quotes. Therefore, it is likely that not
including the quotes is causing MSN Search to look at combined relevance for
occurrances of dr and who.
