I'm loosing all my faith in Google search. Reading along this site and adding my own experience (both as a searching person and as a webmaster) I'm pretty much convinced that Google is loosing focus and is in the bad direction.

K, now to the real stuff. Today I happened to search for the word XVI and added some other keywords to this query, too. Several of the results returned XVII in a bold font, as if I asked for XVII.

Is there an acceptable reasoning for getting false results, or is this just another Google glitch?

Humm, yeah that's interesting.. searching for "XVI seventeen" bring up pages that that have XVII (seventeen in Roman numerals), which are bolded. Play around with the query and you'll also see some XVIII's, which aren't bolded, not even if XVI is increment to there the query is "XVII eighteen".

So, Google appears to have created some relationship between XVI & XVII?
