Barry Welford at Cre8asite Forums spotted and screen captured an interesting Google slip up earlier. Typically, if Google displays a search result from the same domain name on a page, it will group that result (i.e. indent the result) under the first result. But Barry Welford spotted a case, which I cannot reproduce, of Google showing a second listing as a stand alone result in the Google search results.
Here is a screen capture from Barry W:
This is far from common Google practices. What it looks like to me, now at least, is the norm:
Was it a temporary bug?

This is pretty common. Check out this search with 2 yelp results ungrouped: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=il+fornaio+beverly+hills&spell=1 ...and this one with 2 of aol cityguides: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cityguide&btnG=Google+Search I can find a ton of these examples. They're all over the place.

I have seen this since 2003 and kinda see it come and ago over the years. It doesn't seem to bother Google that much. It does seem to be getting a bit more common lately.

I Agree. This is very common and has been happening for awhile. See the spinner and aol music listings on page 1 and 2 for a search on aol music? http://www.google.ca/search?q=aol+music&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1B3GGGL_enCA266CA266&start=10&sa=N None of those were grouped at all.
