Google's "Bacon number" search

I wonder what the cutoff for notability is. It seems to work for big names but not bit part players. Oracle Of Bacon works with all of imdb, but I guess google can't use that resource...

Boo, I have a bit part listed on IMDB and it does not work on my name.

It doesn't appear to work if you are using google (even .com) in another language, confirmed with Spanish (Castilian).

Right. I tried finding out Erdös' Bacon number and nothing came up.

I'm disappointed it doesn't work with Erdös numbers.

I thought Google was supposed to be a geeky company.
