Google's getting too clever

If you type "fpri," into a Google search box, it knows you meant "forum". Clever chaps!

Hmmm, I tried "fpri," and got a lot about the Foreign Policy Research Institute. But something like "java fpri," did indeed give hits to java forums.

Hm. Does google do the translation internally, or is it that sufficiently many people have mistyped it can heuristically connect them? I dont' know what's more impressive.
