find one word which appears nowhere else
Which brings us to my proposal for a revised scoring system. If we use my previous suggestion of multiplying the single word hit numbers of the components all you need do is find a word which appears nowhere else and combine it with the giving you a score of 2,420,000,000. Therefore, my amended scoring plan is: The score for a googlewhack is the lower of the two numbers of hits of each single word.

I agree, faldage. That makes it more challenging: two words neither of which is rare, but appear together only once.
Best I can do at this point is longwinded k-v-e-t-c-h": 1 hit (9840 hits & 10,600 hits for the components)

It doesn't seem to return the exact number of hits, but an approximate number. Assuming I understand your scoring method correctly,
c-a-llypigian i-n-undation scores 1,030 on 1st word.
i-n-vigorating o-m-phaloskepsis scores 780 on the 2nd word.
b-o-mbastic v-e-rbicide scores 406 on the second word. (haven't submitted this one yet, though)
My best so far is
q-u-otidian b-l-oviation scoring a 322 on the second word.

You want the lower score to be as high as possible! I like it!
Okay, here's one:
f-a-l-l-o-p-i-a-n antigravity, 74,100 and 21,000 respectively, for a final score of 21,000.

I'm not sure what principle is at play here, but there's no need to disguise words with gratuitous hyphens for fear of the charm being broken - I just regoogled perambulatory isthmus to test my theory, and it didn't pick up my nonchalant mention a few posts above... I don't know if we're guarded by some sacred force field or if it's just the function of the Board.

my guess is it takes the google bots at least a few hours and perhaps a few days to pick up new stuff.
