Funny Google Search Results

For all of the hoopla around search engines, and specifically Google, these days, I’m surprised how wrong they get searches sometimes.

I was searching for an answer to a simple question last night. I wanted to find out how much it would cost me to ship a small package to Australia. I was primarily looking at FedEx or UPS, but had the idea that maybe I could ship something through an airline and save some money. After searching around, I decided to just plug in the question: Can I ship something through the airline to another country?

Seems simple, right?

Check out the results:

Funny Google Search Result

The first two I can understand. Traveling with pets makes sense.

But results 3 thru 5 really surprised me. I find itĀ interestingĀ that Google thinks “something” in my question is either a pet or a dead body.

Anyone else have funny Google search results? Put them in the comments!

  1. Haha yeah… these don't really fit…. Google fail on this one! :)

  2. I think your question is too long for the search engine. Try searching using just keywords. The results were pretty interesting nevertheless.

  3. Yes this really happens sometimes and i am like is it really Google. but this is generally some error which creeps in and is unable to predict what all you have written and what do you mean by that.

  4. In this some time Google can get your Keywords and Google shown this result. This is because your keyword is so long. Google have some Rules. but sometime google is also funny searches.

  5. Lol, If I got such result in future, I will kept it and surely will share here. :D

  6. Transporting a body to another country? Ahahaha…that is why I love Google! :)

  7. It is just one instance but there are many search results which makes you think that there is a lot of scope for improvement in Google algorithm.
    Anyways thanks for sharing.
