I've noticed this for a while, but never really thought to question it till now. Why does a
search for lange on google produce so many results with just 'lang' in them. No other words seem to drop a silent e in the search and show results for the other one, just my last name. Even for words where there are 100 times more results for the word without the e doesn't ever drop it. (Compare
lowe to
low). For my name, there are definitely more results without the e, but that isn't what I'm searching for. I only want results with the e at the end, and google just doesn't seem to want to give it to me. I'm more interested in why this is the case than in the results of the search itself. Once again I'll invite people to enlighten me.
