I'm sure it's probably a duplicate but I've raised Bug 27139 about showing
users that there has been a search query error.

That being said... you can type gibberish into Google and Google will never
tell you that you have a syntax error.

(Although I just tried doing an "any of these words" advanced search in Google
using  "miniature OR" and it created a search query for "miniature OR OR" so
even Google is a bit buggy / incorrectly documented when it comes to complex
search.)

(Typing '"urban keith" and "pickles"' into Google without the single quotes
also gives different results to what I'd expect. I want to know about Urban
Keith and not Keith Urban, although it seems that Google thinks I've made a
typo.)
