If I search for “OS 9” without any quotes or anything I get the Wikipedia article for Mac OS 9. I think it’s fine. There’s enough niners out there keeping things alive.

  I think that was what the poster was implying was the problem. MacOS 9 and OS-9 are not the same thing. OS-9 is a Real Time OS originally for 6800/68000 processors.

    It's not really an issue. Searching for os 9 gives one OS's results. Searching for mac os 9 gives the other OS's results. Super easy.

      The issue is that searching for "os 9" also gives results for Mac OS 9, making searching for OS-9 results harder.

        Thanks for the explanation. In that case, the following search works: -mac os 9

The proper name is Mac OS 9, you are never going to convince people to call it by something else just to make a far more obscure operating system easier to find on Google.
