This is just nonsense. Garbage in, garbage out, nothing gained. Google tries to interpret a UUID search query as a math equation and solve it.

  We get it.

  Tested with a few UUIDs: $ uuidgen 2b2ec13b-a1a4-49da-938a-50b24a1e416a Google - https://www.google.com/search?q=2b2ec13b-a1a4-49da-938a-50b24a1e416a https://www.google.com/search?q=2b2ec13b-a1a4-49da-938a-50b2... $ uuidgen --sha1 --namespace @dns --name "www.google.com" 488416f4-fcaf-5027-8c63-0105cfa213ea Google - https://www.google.com/search?q=488416f4-fcaf-5027-8c63-0105cfa213ea https://www.google.com/search?q=488416f4-fcaf-5027-8c63-0105... Nothing. Maybe it is a bug?

    Not a bug, there are actual search results for the last query. So probably a feature that since results exist, it's not a computation.

    Those aren't valid expressions. It's when there aren't any numerals after a letter, then the letters can be interpreted as variables and the numerals coefficients (for each term separated by a subtract).

      That's not it. Digits after letter didn't stop Google from interpreting the original UUID.

        Oh you're right. it just considers them all multiplications, sometimes powers. Only other difference I can see then is >1 contiguous letters in the UUIDS that didn't trigger it, maybe variables have to be single letter.
