I should know better since I work for Google, but you're getting results localized for Australia which are all "papaya." I get results localized for the US which are all this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba

The funny thing is that I've actually used this example at work as a rare case of an Australia/US localization issue, but totally forgot about HNs global audience when I made this post.

Ooooh, right, I see, thanks for clearing that up.

Yep, I see now how the flesh and seeds are similar to a Custard Apple. I’ve eaten those fresh from the farm in Norther New South Whales and liked them. Had limited success with store bought ones elsewhere in Australia.

Funny how we both forgot about internet search localisation!

This right here is why I've dumped Google. Long tail searches essentially no longer work, if I type a part number into Google it'll often be rewritten needlessly and I'll get irrelevant results.

Even Yahoo can get long tail search right, which is a pretty low bar. Though, Qwant seems to be the most well rounded search engine, both Yahoo and DuckDuckGo have unpolished edge cases that have turned me off over the years.

If you can remember the example queries I can pass them along to debug. (You can check your search history if you have it turned on. https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity )

Already passed them along a few weeks back when I was over in Fremont (a neighborhood in Seattle) at the Google Campus. Not expecting much, most of my friends who worked at Google have moved on to greener pastures.
