This I don't mind.
What frustrates me is when searches "correct" things for you, and especially when there is no way to prevent the "correction".
Case in point: Google. As far as I can tell there is no way to search for something on Google without it "correcting" it for you. + used to work, but it no longer does. Quotations used to work, but that no longer does either. Sometimes it pops up "Search instead for <search term you actually entered>", but not always.

- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoWrong definition of work there, sorry. There's really two issues. That one displays the latter but not the former - it autocorrects and there is no way to turn off the autocorrection, but yes, that one does display the "search instead for" part. I'll give you a ring next time I run across something that doesn't have the "search instead for" part.
