That's due to Google's use of stemming, which is fairly recent and was very quietly changed on their site recently, on the page where they previously had said that they didn't use stemming.

This lends itself to some interesting new opportunities, but IMHO can complicate things a little bit for those among us who are intent on optimizing pages for Inktomi.
