But rather, instead, Google and other search engines also began to suggest to Web searchers if they meant to search for "Climate Gate" rather than the intended query, "Climategate" or otherwise "Climategate scandal."  However, by December 7th, Google was correctly displaying "climate-gate" in the autosuggest list, which led to a full list of search results about this scandal.

Al Gore's position on Google's senior advisory board is likely bearing responsibility; in Gore's bio he says:
