Google's dissatisfied results

Liz Lawley found a feature of Google that I can't reproduce, but she's got the screen capture to prove it. Maybe it's in beta, or maybe Google likes Liz more than it likes me. Anyway, for a search Liz did that had 34 million returns, after the fifth item Google suggested an altered search query and listed the results for it. Sounds like it could be useful. (And Liz's screen capture is much clearer than my description.) [Tag: google]

I got the same results if I search for "jay is" (without quotes)

But how can google not like David W?

Our team discovered the same thing on the results for 'telemdia'.
