I used the feedback link on the bottom of the page to report the issue to google, we'll see if it helps...

I just tried to logout and do a search but with the search settings in french and the keyword also gets corrected to final instead of finao. So it looks like it is more of an auto-correct issue than personalized search results but the auto-correction only happens in french...

Humm, strange, it seam the results vary if I am connected or not in google account. My site (danielvaladas.com) is now listed first for this search and the term is no longer auto-corrected if I am not connected. And the search was without the quotes.

If I connect to my google account and try it again, then I get all sort of corrected results such as:

Fiona Apple @ Olympia de Montréal – le 3 juillet | Montreal.TV

Dépôt final - Bibliothèques - Université de Montréal

Sprint final à Montréal et Sherbrooke - Le Journal de Québec

News Final on Global Montreal | Global Montreal

Critique concert: Fiona Apple à L'Olympia de Montréal | Sors-tu.ca

Well you get the point, anything similar to Finao but nothing including Finao in the first pages.

I also get this:

Résultats, y compris pour final montreal
Rechercher uniquement finao montreal.

which indicates that finao was corrected to final.

If I change my google account search settings to english, then it gives me about the same results as when I am not connected, this post is also there!

Hi there,

I have a keyword "finao montreal" that used to rank 8 or 9 in Google serp.

All of a sudden it dropped under the top 50 results, I was wondering why and I found out that Google now auto-corrects "finao montreal" to "final montreal".

Finao is a well know brand of custom high-end photo albums and I find it strange that Google corrects it.

Anyone has an idea on what to do with this situation? Is there a way to provide Google some feedback about the autocorrect?
