Here's my pet peeve that I don't see on the list: not giving me the results for what I searched for the first time around. For example, yesterday I searched for "OCUnit coverage" or something similar and Google said "showing results for 'JUnit coverage'". (I don't mind suggesting another search query, but I expect the first hit to assume that I didn't mistype.)

I actually like that feature. I generally tend to know how my search queries sound but not how they are spelled, so this gets me to where I want to go faster. I imagine this is also true for a large number of people, so I doubt it would be changed.
This is a revisit of five-year old gripes; Google didn't do that five years ago.

But yes, it's annoying.
