Do any of you find it amusing (as I do) when you're trying to search for a new food item to log in your diary.
You type, for example, "Banana Bob's Pops" and [No Results Found] shows up. BUT! Hooray! There's this helpful little suggestion at the top that asks you, "Did you mean Billy Bob's Banana Bomb?" You're thinking, "Maybe I did. After all, the wrapper's all the way in there. Surely the database knows better than I" So you click on it, only to find [No Results Found] popping up there again. Then the data base says, in its sugary sweet, southern customer service voice, "Sorry Darlin' We sure don't have that either".

Or is it just me?

    Hahahaha love it! And sometimes the suggestions are just so strange, you're like, "what kind of algorithm is making these suggestions?" they never make sense! And they're never in the database!
