What are you trying to imply here? Of course it's not a real example, I
was just trying to use a compound word that works well as an example in
German and English.

again, you seem to imply I'm trying something unethical here, maybe
keyword spamming? If I were as competent as you think you are, I'd only
imply that after spotting some evidence.

What do you think it finds? Not Kindergarten, anyways, unless that site
contains the words kinder and garten separately as well.
