Quiteodd produces a page that says "Sorry, quiteodd is not in the manual." I
hadn't been aware of this 'intelligent' URL function on the php.net site,
but I'm sure you have hit on the root cause of the problem. Rather than
linking to the security chapter of the manual,
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/security.php,
this mechanism decides that I was
looking for the documentation of the square root function. Perhaps the
logic that came to that conclusion would bear reexamination. Thanks for the
clarification!

Well, if you put up a link to http://php.net/quiteodd on a
site, which
is indexed by google, this link could get into the index. We have some
spelling check on the word you use as a quick shortcut [1], so if you
misspell a word, it will still find the resource.
