First time I've noticed this.

The Google spell checker feature [google.com] is presenting multiple suggestions instead of just 1. Just did a search for the 2 character intials of my favorite university & got back suggestions for 3 states plus "something else." All 4 links to suggested alternate searches led to a 404 page.

This a new feature GG?

I hope so; it would be nice to give more than one option.

Hopefully they'll fix that aspect though. :-)

That's a pretty ambiguous search. ;) I just tried it guessing the state from your profile and it worked with no 404's for me. This is a related searches feature that we're experimenting with--it's not a spellcheck suggestion..

Not to me, it wasn't ;)

Your box is full. The url to the 1st suggestion was /?q=state1&suggest=0. Drop by my profile site & chat sometime.
