Based on our previous post regarding the differentiation of the two key phrases, we understand that the issue arises from the systems (computers) handling of the reserved character ‘%’ which has been used as a reserved keyword in most databases and indexing.

Here is a good tip, whenever using the keyphrase that you are typing has a % symbol in it. Make sure that the returned results from the search engine actually highlights the % within each of the snippets (ie. each of the organic listings). Also, make sure to type the keyphrase without the symbol which should return pretty much the same data sets and still point to the % within the snippets.

As an example, if you are searching for each of those keywords ie. ‘100% free dating sites’ and ‘100 free dating sites’, I am happy to say that Google and other search engines have assumed the latter to have the same meaning as the former. However, for those who are actually looking for 100 free dating sites will have a problem.
