New title: "How I attacked myself with Google Spreadsheets (2012)" (I assume someone added the 2012 later.) Old title: "How I attacked myself using Google and I ramped up a $1000 bandwidth bill" I think that the problem is that Algolia looks for results with all the words, the new title has the word "Spreadsheets" that is not in the old title. I think Algolia has an option to allow variations and typos in words, but…

The url is the same though. That ought to be detected.

A lot of people complain about amazon lacking a cap for spending everytime such a story appears. Invariably though everrytime i've read about something like this happening amazon dropped the bill if the usage was not intentional.

Honestly from what i've seen this policy of amazon's is really nice and if they did otherwise they'd constantly get a lot of bad pr. Cases like this probably happen often but not everyone writes about it. A lot more would write rant blog posts if amazon didn't drop such bills.
