Yahoo Top 20 Misspelled Searches

October 23rd, 2006

As you perform your daily search routine, top search engines are collecting data about your vocabulary and spelling skills. Yahoo has compiled a list of their top 20 misspelled searches.

“We know some of our searchers aren’t dexterous when it matters most. Misspelling your query in the Search box used to lead to disastrous results. But thanks to our advanced computerized technology, we can catch most of your mistakes and provide you with the correct result.”

The top 5 are listed here…
# Rachel Ray (Rachael Ray)
# Tatoos (Tattoos)
# Scarlett Johanson (Scarlett Johansson)
# Wierd Al Yankovic (Weird Al Yankovic)
# Evanesence (Evanescence)

Avoid spelling mistakes by letting smart search tools suggest words as you type. Try the power of Google Suggest or spin the new Yahoo search technology called Livesearch on AlltheWeb to search as you type.
