As before, the before query is ambiguous. Adding baseball makes the query less ambiguous. Capitalize when appropriate. These examples, when all lower case, have a variety of possible interpretations. For example, without capitalization, wired could refer to electrical cables and not Wired Magazine.
Capitalization reduces the ambiguity.
Be sure to place a comma between unrelated capitalized words, since Infoseek treats adjacent capitalized words as if they formed a single phrase. It is always a good idea to capitalize proper names. The after version above does both. Use a field specifier.
