Google: Search for both SCCM and ConfigMgr in a string

In relation to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 R2 there are two short names

  • ConfigMgr
    • Official
  • SCCM
    • Popular (Yes, I know Jeff that this is not allowed because of to much ambiguity)
So how do you search for both at the same time in google?  

Use the Keyword OR.  Note this must be upper case.

By participating in beta exams, you have the opportunity to provide the Microsoft Certification program with feedback about exam content, which is integral to development of exams in their released version. We depend on the contributions of experienced IT professionals and developers as we continually improve exam content and maintain the value of Microsoft certifications.
