Gary Googlewhack Stock points out that Google no longer provides automatic links to the definition of search terms that end in S:
You know how when you search for, say, anxietyon Google, the light blue bar at the top reports that it's showing Results 1-100 of about 16,900,00 for anxiety (0.55), and since "anxiety" is a recognized word, there's a ink to a dictionary definition? If you search for any word that ends with an "s," as in "anxious," there's no link. Gary speculates, among other possibilites that "At Google's heart, the regex !^(?i)[a-z]+\s*$ has lost a slash, banning all pluralization!" Posted
