British English and Google
This is probably not new, but I just noticed it… if your search query to Google contains words spelled in the British way, Google will search for both spellings:
But it doesn’t work the other way around:
Does this mean that those of us who spell things in the British way are getting more complete results from Google?
(the word “search” is in the query just to give slightly better results; if you search just for “color” or “colour” you will notice the same effect; also, try “license” and “licence” etc.; Yahoo! doesn’t seem to do the same)
