Let's file this under weird or unexpected search results from Google. A search for business website design] returns one of those middle of the page Google refinements. The weird part is what Google returns as a refinement for that search. Google returns the keyword, [semi repair]. What does semi repair have to do with business website design?
Here is a picture of the page:
Why is this the case? No one really knows, but Googler JohnMu did comment in a joking fashion saying:
As I mentioned, these suggestions are generated automatically. I wonder what that tells us ... hmm :-) Someone should be out there making DIY truck repair sites!
Maybe, just maybe.

While I understand that automation could lead to errors like these, I was quite surprised to find that search results for some keywords are also skewed. While I typed in ERP solutions, a prominent spa and salon seems to come in third! How are they even related?

I did precisely the same search and was amazed to discover that "semi repair" had been suggested as an alternative query. How absurd.
