It shows the top of the first page of Google search results for "statistical bias in the distribution of primes" and (hooray!) the first three top pages listed are either to the viXra location of my paper on a statistical bias in the distribution of primes (both twins and isolated prime numbers) or to its two PDF versions: the last one as of this writing (and sixth in general) and the third one.
However, when you search for "bias in the distribution of primes" you will not find any results related to this paper among the 129 pages that Google lists for this keyword.
This seems ridiculous considering how small a difference there is between these two keywords, but unfortunately Google is far from perfect and this sort of instability problem is rather common. Google should probably hire more physicists who understand issues of (in)stability than coding monkeys who apparently don't understand (or care about) that at all.
Incidentally, on June 22nd, "statistical bias in the distribution of primes" has almost gone the way of the other keyword (you can now find only some indirect references to my paper in the lower part of the 2nd page of search results for this keyword), attesting to how volatile Google rankings can really be. It's more than ridiculous. It's just makes no sense at all.
