It should return NO results.

site:www means any site ending in a domain ".www" – which of course does not exist.

[site:http] http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http

I might understand how these got into the index.
Google may have indexed a page that referred to one of these urls.

I do not understand why there is a cache link in the SERP entry.
Following that link produces a google page that says "Your search – ... – did not match any documents.

i think there are several problems
1. someone got to have backlinks to such links – asi link: show, it was russian yandex http://www.google.cz/search?hl=cs&q=link:www/ismm/ru&btnG=Hledat&lr= and that's the reason why only russian pages are in the indexs

2. such links had to go through the internal system of link validation – if something like www/ismm/ru went through, it mean that they got some problem in this, maybe they index also some internal links where http: //www is a root of the "intranet" and the subpages from yandex seemed like some pages in this system (it probably not returned 404, but some 300 error, so Google has indexed them using the description from the source of the link – yandex).

Also searching for
site:www.*
Brings weird results.

Are the URLs www.de and www.ee ([put at-character here]Zim) real at all?

Today I got malformed results through Google Alerts too.

Check the results for:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+site%3Afeltet.dk+jjnet

You get an URL consisting of 2 URLs, separated by an encoded space, a hyphen and again an encoded space:
www.jjnet.dk%20-%20www.feltet.dk

Hi Reiner
It looks like feltet.dk is using wildcard subdomains – anything technically resolves to the webserver like that. For example, blogoscoped.feltet.dk will work. This is generally something they need to fix on their end (feel free to send them a tip :-)).

I'll pass this on to the guys here too though. Thanks for bringing it up!

Hi JohnMu,

Thanks! You're right. Never seen spaces in subdomains before.
