Singular vs. Plural word missing cache

[fritzbayer]

Hi,

I have found a domain which shows a cache depending on whether the search term is in singular or plural.

So, if I search the site for "widget" then no cache is displayed the search result.

However, if I search the site for "widgets" then a cache is displayed.

If I run a site: search on the domain the page, which pops up for the term does have a cache.

Weird, isn`t it?! Anybody else seen something like this?

Same exact url, but there's a cached page for one query term and not for another? Now that is weird. No I haven't run into anything quite like that. Sounds like one of the mysteries of Google's back end infrastructure.

A lot of the time now clicking the toolbar will show no cache, but clicking a cache link in the search results will bring one up for that same page. So it wouldn't surprise me that cache links might be inconsistent too.

With Google, "weird" has become the norm.
