Have you noticed that this thread is now the second result for that search? Now let's try to perpetuate this . . .

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooored

. . . 39 of the letter "O" there, let's see how long it takes to get indexed!

<edit> Hey, there are actually 78 o's in your example! So let's take it up to 79 instead:

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooored

We could index as big a bored as we want, this site gets crawled so often.

What surprised me was that it returned over 12,000 results for antidisestablishmentarianism [google.com], which, at one point in my short life, was the longest word in the english language. A few longer ones have crept in since then.

Anyone got a clue what the longest real word indexed by google is? (no german compund words, something that you might actually hope to find in a large library dictionary).

Answered my own question:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis [google.com] - a miner's lung disease (2940 results), which beats out

hippopotomonstrosesquipidelian [google.com] - which means a really long word (coming in at a paltry 38 results, but this will make 39, I suppose. Notably, when I checked just now, the second listing in SERPS was an obviously SEOed use of the word, for a site that promotes, you guessed it, an SEO and Spam company)....

There is some protein enzyme that racks up a wampum 1,913 letters... but that's just chemists showing off again.
