Using "golang" instead of "Go" nearly always gives the correct results in my experience.

That's true-ish, although it seems unlikely that most marketing departments who would be putting together a web server page would use "golang" over "Go".

A great many programming languages aren't particularly searchable, especially when searching engines weren't up to todays standards yet. Things have improved, but I remember the dark days when looking for anything C# would shower you with C-related links.

Or how about searching for ".NET"? :)

It should be illegal for programmers to name anything they created ;)
