Weird Messages on "no results" pages

I noticed a couple of really strange messages on "no results" pages. For example, search term "a star in the ghetto" produced the following message:
Quote:
No results. alt_try 10 star an te cheat?
I figured out where "alt_try" was and changed that to "Did you mean" (which incidentally can be found in search_function.php). However, I haven't been able to figure out where it comes up with "10 star an te cheat." Seems like a weird alternate search term. Where does that come from?

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure I know why there were zero results on the above. The words "a" "in" and "the" are probably considered common words, and phpdig doesn't search on them. That's not a problem.

Here's another example of the weird alternate search. Search term "B W Stevenson" yields the following results message:
Quote:
No results. Did you mean b. 10 stephenson?
Why the number 10 in the alternate search term?
