> Is this a typo? I would certainly hope that a search for "prolog web framework" would not include results about a web framework written in Nim named "Prologue"

Unfortunately not. It's caused by fuzzy matching and happens with other words (and languages) too. Annoying but I don't think we should start avoiding certain words because google search (and some people apparently) can't make the distinction.

Re-read what the comment I replied to said:

> searching for "prolog web framework" gets you stuff about using prolog for web application development ... And no sniff of this new framework.

The comment I replied to described that they searched for "prolog web framework", which is NOT the name of this project. The name of this project is "prologue".

"prolog" != "prologue"

Searching for "prolog web framework" should not return results about the "Prologue" web framework. What the commenter I replied to described is the correct behavior.

Edit: I understand that contrived searches might be constructed to fall victim to fuzzy matching, but what the comment I replied to confirmed is that it's probably not an issue in this case.
