OK so i know you guys don't REALLY work for a living so how about a script to do this:
enter a word with on letter followed by a $ (eg ka$hn)
that word gets searched for in google with incrementing numbers of that character.
the script returns a histogram of letter repettitions vs. search results and continues increasing until say 10 or so searchers get no hits.
eg kahn gets ~21 million hits kaan gets 4000 kaaan gets 13000 and ka(x6)n through ka(x30)n dwindles slowly from 500ish has its ups and downs to zero.
other ideas: you$ me$ yes$ go$al "that's a hu$ge bitch" fu$ck ro$ethlisberger

The number before the ":" is the number of times ive replaced the $ with the previous letter. the number after is the estimated result set size.
Emperical analysis shows that my search differs from hitting up the main site. One possibility is that i enabled safe search but i dont think that's the whole story.
anyway i'll be messing with this in the coming days after i get back from thanksgiving :)

I'm also periodically getting Server 500 errors from google so I think there's more than meets the eye on what server i'm being re-directed to for my query.
speaking of more than meets the eye who can't wait to see transformers zomg

then you got the problem of squaring the number of iterations. but sure why not.
