When Google’s spellcheck fails, Google fails

I had my first really bad Google search experience. I searched for “Silson Realty” and Google insisted I was looking for “Wilson Realty.”

Lo-and-behold: Yahoo tries to be helpful, but not in an overbearing way. silson_yahoo.jpg

Google: in your quest to be helpful to the illiterate masses, you’ve begun alienating those of us who made you popular in the first place. For shame.
