Thanks!

How did you figure that out? (And thus, in the future, how can I figure it out?)

Well, I think the primary difference is that I'm a little more familiar with Go, so I have slightly more context. Most of these say things like "Package that provides such-and-such functions" or "Library for doing this thing".

I've been working with go for the past year, and let me tell you - golang is king when it comes to google's own search engine queries.

You're right it's not the proper name that the go language team at google assigned, but it's certainly the colloquial (and notably more unique) one.

I don't see that it is the colloquial name of the language even if people sometimes search for it. In conversation, AFAIK it tends to be called Go. For example, look through the golang-nuts mailing list and count how many people say "Go" versus "Golang" when not referring to the website or mailing list.

Have you tried debugging something and search for for "go" rather than "golang"? You're both correct here: the name of the language is Go, and when searching google for help with an error or something, it's best to search for golang rather than go, or you'll be wading through a bunch of unrelated pages.
