—New Google Operator: ~synonyms

Google has added a new operator — type “~word” to search for what Google calls synonyms (though sometimes it just appears to be different forms of the same word).

An interesting detail… if you search Google for “~blog”, one of the words added is “blogger”, while if you search Google for “~weblog” you don’t see “weblogger” added.

It wouldn’t be because Google now owns blogger, would it?
