View source for Scwewy Wabbit

The evening of the day I posted my big [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis History of wikis] article on Wikipedia, I wanted to see if it was on Google already. I knew from experience that it would take a few days before the new article was crawled, but I wanted to try anyway.

I looked for a search chain that would '''only''' be in my article, and no other. I found the chain "WikiWikiWeb snowballed," which worked. The Google result was:

::Your search - "WikiWikiWeb snowballed" - did not match any documents. 

Writing this up in RainDog's blog, I wanted to capture the sentence "Your search ... did not match any documents" in English, whereas my Google speaks French. So I went to the [http://www.google.fr/preferences?hl=en Google settings page] to change the language, and discovered that the list of available languages includes "Elmer Fudd." I set it to that, and got things like:

::Tip: Twy wemoving quotes fwom youw seawch to get mowe wesults.

The void search result shown above became:

::Youw seawch - "WikiWikiWeb snowballed" - did not match any documents. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit!

They're a load of laughs, they are, those Google guys.
