In his blog, Hermon shows a case where a user typed a Hebrew word but forgot to change the language of the keybord to Hebrew so the query was actually for "nhkui".

Google guessed that it might have been a Hebrew word and suggested searching for the correct word which is "dictionary".

thank you.. thank you =)

but i guess that Google Israel (the company, not the web-page) did this.
after all they did say that a lot of changes will happen to Google here in Israel.
