I keep saying that they aren't human and things can easily be read wrong, like words that are spelled the same, and mean different things. ALso two words together can have a completely different meaning. The search only finds what we ask it to find...

But here's an interesting example, outside of Micro.

Tweet about Margret Thatchers Death  #nowthatchersdead (Now Thatchers Dead)  sent some people into a panic because they read it as Now That Chers Dead (also noting most were American's)

hashtag double-entendres are like bad keyword searches, all the letters and words are there, it's just some unintended result with a different meaning.
