On Chrome, it displays the Google logo on every New Tab page (by default)
Maybe Angela just has her homepage/new tab set to "www.google.com" before she performs searches :) Some people like to see the google doodles.
Maybe that's her new tab default page.
Does this person actually type "www.google.com" into the address bar and press enter?
Maybe it's editorial license and that's not actually the case, but it's still concerning.
