To be fair, using the word "comparing" instead of "comparison" in
the
search terms, means you fail to find it using Wikipedia's internal
search function (though the Signpost article still pops up), but
Google, it seems, can be clever and "comparing" still works.

The same search terms; when I searched, all the hits were for news
articles about when de was blocked by German courts (I didn't bother
to click through to see which incident exactly). I notice that even so
general a search term as 'english german wikipedia' now brings up the
occasional blog post comparing the two Wikipedias (though not
Elian's).
Given my past experience with Google's updating (eg
http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/92xdg/is_it_not_only_pointless_bu…
), this would seem to be another example of searches rebalancing
Google's results. In the future, when I make claims about things that
can't be found in Google, perhaps I'd better start taking screenshots
so people don't think I'm making things up!
