Stupid question, perhaps you have asked it as well..... Why in

[HysteryDiagnosis]

the hell, when you Google sumpin.... does it ask you if you meant.... EXACTLY WHAT YOU ENTERED IN THE SEARCH WINDOW????? I mean, if I enter blue dogs in heaven.... why the heck does it come back with "did you mean blue dogs in heaven"?

[madokie]

1. piss on heck, its hell

[Nimrod2005]

2. Too smart for its own good? Google is very good, just double checking

everything...?

:silly:

[DawgHouse]

3. Because maybe you meant yellow dogs in heaven!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

13. Yes... perhaps... all yellow dogs go to heaven... no doubt!! nt.

[DRoseDARs]

4. You probably misspelled something. I just tried and didn't get asked. nt

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. Went back and checked spelling.... interesting thing though... if I

go back and google the exact same thing again.... it doesn't ask.... smart cookie perhaps.... thanks all, I just get tired of it sort of saying, what did you say??? When it clearly heard me perfectly.... heh heh heh.....

10. Face it, you spelled something wrong.

I've NEVER seen Google do this without a misspelling or typo as the root cause. Even a misplaced apostrophe can do it. I think if you were able to go back and look you'd see that it was something very simple.

[havocmom]

14. Yep. As I age and the print in my dictionary gets smaller...

google is my spell check ;)

[DRoseDARs]

11. It only bothers me when I'm trying to find the correct spelling of a word.

...and it gives me "Did you mean..." an entirely different word. :banghead:

[crispini]

5. it only asks me that

when I spell something wrong. :hi:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

6. spelling error for sure

[TahitiNut]

7. Often it's a spelling ambiguity.

Google is not a spelling checker. It does, however, cache various search terms and will suggest a more frequently used search term that's similar to one you've used. You can play with it yourself using the various (mis)spellings of "abu Ghraib" and see what you get. The fact of the matter is that the web has tons of misspellings ... and it's NOT inconceivable that you're looking for a site that misspells some word.

In the example I suggested, you'll get nearly 30,000 hits looking for "abu Grahib" while "abu Ghraib" gets more than 5,300,000 hits.

9. Whenever Google asks me that,

I've misspelled something. Unless your Google is the new, Monty Hall Google, which always asks if what you asked for is really what you want, or maybe you want what's behind Door Number 3.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. Oooooh you little dickens you..... I'll take door number 3.... or 2, or

1, doesn't matter a whole lot..... now where did you get that picture, that's almost as old as I am.... damn.

[InternalDialogue]

15. Where did I get that picture?

Well, I... um... Googled it. Brings back some memories, huh?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. Well.... yeaaaaaahhhhh!!! Thanks for the memories.... here are

some for you.
