Searching for "anagram" shows "Did you mean: nag a ram" in the English version,
Searching for "define anagram" shows "Did you mean: nerd fame again".
Searching for "do a barrel roll" or "Z or R twice" will rotate the results page a full 360 degrees. This is a reference to the Nintendo video game Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo 64 console.
Searching for "recursion" shows "Did you mean: "recursion", which allows you to recursively run searches for recursion.
Searching for "Jason Isaacs" shows "Hello to Jason Isaacs", a reference to Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews which greets Jason Isaacs with a 'hello' every week
Before and during the span of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, searching for various terms which Google has statistics related to, such as "world cup", "world cup usa vs england", or "world cup brazil", caused the result index at the bottom of the page to read as "Gooooooooooal!" instead of "Goooooooooogle".[1]
Searching for "tilt" or "askew" using a browser supportion css3 transform, makes the page 'lean' to the right a bit.
Searching for anything else puts it right back.
Around December 2011 and January 2012, Searching for "let it snow" simulates snowfall and frost on the search results. After a while, the search screen fogs up and the blue search button changes to Defrost, enabling the user to defrost the page clicking and rubbing it like a window. Interaction with the actual search screen is disabled until the Defrost button is pressed (even if the entire screen is manually defrosted). Search screen will cease to fog up once the Defrost button is pressed.
Also around December 2011 and January 2012, searching for "xmas" or "christmas" or any phrase with "xmas" or "christmas" in, puts a string of colorful lights under the search bar.
Searching for "festivus" displays an unadorned aluminum pole running down the side of the list of the search results in recognition of the secular holiday Festivus. Launched December 10, 2012.[2]
Searching for "hanukkah" changes the border between the search bar and search results into a row of lights shaped like the Star of David.
Searching for "kwanzaa" changes the border between the search bar and search results into a row of Kinara
Searching for "kerning" or "keming" changes the letter-spacing of the word "kerning" or "keming", respectively.
Searching for "binary" changes the number of found results to read out in binary, unless personal results are found. This also works with other number systems such as "hexadecimal" and "octal".
Searching for "qingming festival" (or 清明节) returns a search page containing a stylized tree in the top right, water buffalo in the bottom right, and a jumping koi when the page is clicked.
Searching for "zerg rush" returns a search page with 'O's eating the search results. Clicking each 'O' three times kills it. This is a reference to an early attack known as a 'zergling rush' in the Blizzard game Starcraft. After the inevitable destruction of all links, the 'O's form the letters GG in reference to the standard end of game formality and means good game.[3]
Searching for "conway's game of life" returns a search page with Conway's Game of Life running behind the results along with a set of controls to play, pause, maximize/restore, and step.
Searching "Bacon Number *name*" Displays the bacon number of a famous actor. Searching "Bacon number Kevin Bacon" gives a result of 0.
Searching for horror or halloween related terms returns the result along with three bats on the upper right corner of the page which fly away as soon as the mouse cursor hovers over them. This easter egg was launched on October 31 2012.
