Has Google always done that?

So I'm on my old Windows98 (very old) and I'm bored, so I search for this old game site I used to go to and..... I see this:

Has Google always done this? I only remember "Do you mean"... is this new, or have I just missed something:

Test it out yourself:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jay+is
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=ack

Interesting:
Using Mozilla 1.7.6 I get them.
Using Firefox 1.0.2 I get them
Using Konqueror 3.3.2 I get them.
Using Opera 8.02 I don't get those silly things.
<3 Opera!

Edit > Even using Links 2.1 I get them.

Edit 2 > Even more interesting, turning Safe Search off makes them go away in all browsers! :thumbsup: (Still <3 Opera)

Under FF I don't get it... I just see a regular search.

I didn't get it with the original link, but http://www.google.ca/search?q=jay+is&so...client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US by Simms Worked

Weird indeed. It's almost like Google's doing some experiment and forgot to isolate that.
