From the article: "Update: it looks like Google claimed the phone number removal was a bug, but weird timing that the bug appeared at the same time they started selling premium local ads that appear on the regular search results." Why is it weird timing that a bug would appear when a system is being modified? Isn't that pretty much when most bugs are introduced?

Umm, don't you think they have a regression test that checks if everything that's supposed to be displayed in a search result is actually displayed? Seems like they're stretching the definition of bug here. Maybe a bug in the specification, almost certainly not in the code.

  A fair point... I still think it's more likely for stuff to break when you're tinkering it with than when you're not.
