O.P. Google searches abbreviations!
I just noticed something pretty sweet!

If you go to google and search "rotk" for example, it will only give you results that include rotk. BUT if you search for something like "rotk extended edition" it will actually find the connection between "rotk" and "Return of the King" and output it Return of the King in bold everytime...

Just a little tidbit for those who care :D

It's not that it always does this, when it searches it finds a few pages about the movie which contain the anagram and works out similar pages about the same subject. It has many more ways in which it works out results. I'm not sure if that's one though...there are many factors that come into its searches.

Simple searching tries to match it any possible way

It can also define words, add and translate too !
