Made me laugh
The German website of BMW, the carmaker, has been removed from Google’s search results as part of the web company’s crack down on the manipulation of its search engine.

Google confirmed on Monday that BMW.de had been removed from all search engine results

Full Article
 
Quote from that article:
Mr Hassinger said only 0.4% of visitors came from search engines as most visitors know the address bmw.de or guess it.

Yet Nielsens data show that at least 43% of people use the search bar as if it were the browser address bar.

Quote Nielsen:
Nielsen//NetRatings reports that 43 percent
of online searchers use the search box much like an address bar.
