    Google Stemming/Spellchecking Phrases?
    Amused by the thought of a really bad pun involving arity, I googled "the man who shot liberty valence" to see if it had occurred to anyone before. Imaging my surprise to discover Google's inclusion, without so much as a "Did you mean", of results for the correct spelling! Sticking a + in front of either the phrase or the name made no difference. I infer that Google is now statistically spell-checking phrase searches and refuses to allow users to choose otherwise. Does anyone know different?

    Current Mood: frustrated
    Current Music: none
