    Just noticed in my referer logs:

    ww.google.co.uk/search?etc

    Upon checking it appears that w.google.co.uk works as well.

    Probably same thing for the com's.

    More than 3 w's doesn't work though.

    PS: http://cb3.de/ie?q=keyword+here works as well (shortest G search URL)

    Now go back to work... :cool:

    Hmmmm, actually this is a very clever idea.

    I guess they just set up sub-domains from their normal google domains, to even gurantee, that people who type w.google.com or ww.google.com, will access the google page.

    so, it's like http://subdomain.google.com , where they set "subdomain" to "w" and "ww"... nice idea :D

    I guess that means we should redirect wwww. ww. w. to www. to cope with mis-typed IBLs or am I just being silly now :p

    lists of all domains that point to google.com, sorry, no live links allowed yet.

    A few from the list.
    FOOFLE.COM, GEWGLE.COM, GEWGLE.NET, GEWGOL.COM, GGOOGLE.COM, GOGLE.COM, GOGOLE.COM, GOOGEL.COM, GOOGIL.COM, GOOGLE.BIZ, GOOGLE.COM. GOOGLE.INFO. GOOGLE.NET. GOOGLE.ORG. GOOGLEBOT.COM. GOOGLECOM.COM. GOOGLEE.COM....

    Google seems to be prepered for a few typos.
