I expect google to ignore what I searched for and change it to something more commonly found. Even setting it to Verbatim did not yield a correct first result:
Kagi used to be so so so good at accurate searching and in the past week or two it really seems like its sadly slipping.
The user expects the search for "girls" to return results for that, and not "gurls".
Ah!
With the relative popularity of the more recent song, and the commonality of misspellings either way, I'm not surprised at these results. When searching for a song title, you kind of have to use the artist also, or who knows what you'll get.
The default behaiviour of a search engine should not be to assume the user is making a mistake. That's what google does.
I would say that it probably is to assume a correct spelling.
But when you have one set of results that are far more common (a couple orders of magnitude probably) it's reasonable to go with the more popular result.
