Yet another Google quirk

Filed under: Web/Tech | 2 Comments

It’s all the rage to post about Google quirk’s, so what the heck. Try doing a search for “I’m a X” [example]. On the search engine results page (SERP), you see that “I’m a” has turned into “I’ma”. Yep. Google is sloppy with its contractions. Here’s a screenshot:

In case you’re wondering, all results on the SERP have the same error. TooMuchSexy didn’t make a booboo. If you clicked onto the cached version, a small insight into the crazy mind that Google is comes into light: the query changes to “i ma X”. So can any search gurus explain this one?

    Hm, that’s interesting. I think it’s gotta do with the apostrophe or something. Iono. But then again, the thing that I find weird is that Google didn’t say something like:

    “a” is a very common word and was not included in your search.

    in any “I’m a xxxx” search.

    Yea, you’re right about the “a” as a common word thing. Have no idea what happened.
