Google Indexes Its Own Search Results - The Disillusioned Microphone: Google Magazine

As a search engine, not only does Google index web pages from its own site, it even includes its own search results within the search results. For example, when you input keyword A and search on Google, you will find that the search results for keyword A appear in the first position of Google's search results. Below, I'll use an example to illustrate this.

This interesting phenomenon was discovered by DaveN while using Google. He believed it was another indexing error by Google. In fact, Google previously admitted there were issues with indexing, but this time, there has been no official response yet, so let's just take it as entertainment.

When you input "christine dolce nude" (without the double quotes) as the keyword in Google, the result that appears at the top position is not any website, but rather a link to Google's own search results:

`http://google.com/search?q=christine%20dolce%20nude&hl=en`

This link is essentially the result of our search itself. If you click on it, you will endlessly loop back to the same result: Google places its own search results at the top. As for why Google would include its search results within the search results, it is currently unknown. However, this behavior has no practical significance, and I speculate that it might just be a small bug.
