Native speaker here. I agree with the others that "many" is correct.
Also, I only get 43 results for your first search, and 3,100,000 for the second.
Thanks!
My bad, I didn't mean there were a lot of results using both in the same document. I also get very few results for hat search.
No, I mean I got 43 results on a Google search for the first quoted phrase, and 3.1M for the second quoted phrase. That's two separate G searches. I was not looking for documents with both phrases.
Definitively Google numbers are nonsense, now I see 1.1M
Definitely bs. I got 1.1 on first visit too. Then I refreshed the page and it was 42.
