This is funny (well, not ha ha funny), but still….for years, in fact I think as long as they’ve been around, Google has been unique amongst engines in that it only returned one result for a domain query.

Now look how they’re (finally) returning more than one URL for domain queries:

G search for http://www.yahoo.com.

G search for http://www.flickr.com

etc. You get the point.

Look familiar?
Yahoo search for http://www.flickr.com

What does this mean? I guess Google is acknowledging there isn’t 100% of the time one right answer for these queries.

9/18 UPDATE: Matt Cutts has a posting that provides a bit more detail. I like this quote from him: “One truism you learn quickly at Google is “you are not a typical user.” If you’re reading this blog, the truism probably applies to you too: you’re much more likely to be a power-user, an SEO, a librarian, or someone else who is familiar with the site: operator or the info: operator. But it’s important to remember that many Google users aren’t like that.”
