Seems they had an error with how it calculated? The spike exists for everything I can find that existed back then, but the spike seems relative to the total, so maybe they accidentally counted 1 search as 2 or something? Maybe it was an issue with their use of ajax that caused 2 search requests to be fired off to google? Maybe the data isn't wrong, maybe something caused extra searches?

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1937589 look at the drilldown results, does it still show a spike?
