User blog:Squidmanescape/Weird Google Thing

I've made a habit of not using Google recently, because I'm kind of a superstitious person and I don't like the idea that they can track me. I use Ecosia most of the time, even though that site also records your search history (this is their pitch).

I didn't think there was any real reason for eschewing Google, but today something weird happened.

I edit the Spinpasta Wiki often. Today I found a story called "The Sad Loud House" credited to "JMFStudios". Note: it's J M F, not J F M. This will become important later.

There's no link, so I decide to put one there. I look at whether there's a JMFStudios on Spinpasta and there isn't. Then I search that person on Ecosia. I find a guy, and he's an artist, but he doesn't look like the kind of person who would draw pictures of a children's TV show.

So I decide, "Why not check Google?"

I type in "jmf" and it immediately says "jfmstudios". Note the two letters are switched. I ignore it, but then it says "jfmstudios loud house".

It's the right person.

I don't really understand why Google was able to recommend this to me. Can someone explain why? Is there something I'm missing?
