CNN Money is running a short paragraph on how misspelling words bypasses google’s search engine filter.
Google (Research) is getting lambasted
online for its new policy of accommodating China’s Internet-censorship
rules. But with its new Chinese search engine, Google.cn, Google isn’t
living up to its reputation for technical wizardry. Paul Boutin points out
on his blog that if you search for "Tiananmen," you get peaceful photos
of the Beijing square — but if you search for common misspellings like
"Tienanmen," "Tianenmen," or "Tiananman," you get photos of tanks.
