This is a fascinating observation.  I will verify what you
say.  It seems to me that Google and other aspects
of an evolving non-human complexity must show puzzling behavior.  Why,
I
cannot say, but my intuition tells me so it must be.
I often find myself playing with changes in the words I
feed Google just to see the sometimes surprising
differences in its responses.
