    I am really pissed off by the "Did you mean" functionality.

    You can read here for a classic example:

    But the reason I am pissed is cos I got this site http://Proxys.in

    And this is what it looks like when you try searching for it:

    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=proxys&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=JXEMTJqWKpI

    I do know Proxys is a typo. So quit whining if you're about to.

    The reason why I am pissed off is cos the algorithm for the DYM functionality rarely changes.

    It's one of the other reasons why google controls the web and makes you do what they want you to do.

    Another example of their stupid techniques is the google toolbar issue about 404 page.

    This thread is not another rant about Google but I really think they are shaping the web according what they want it to be !!!

    If you don't got anything nice to say please don't say it ;)
