Google is having a bit of fun with their new Knowledge Graph feature. When you search for musician Lionel Richie on Google, you’ll see an Easter egg that asks, “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”
“Hello, is it me you’re looking for,” is one of the lines from Richie’s 1980s hit song, “Hello.”
Make sure it’s spelled correctly though, as it seems the Easter Egg only works with the exact spelling. Google will correct the spelling error and show results for the singer, though they won’t show the fun title at the top of the info box in the right sidebar.
Other recent Google Easter Eggs included their Zerg Rush shootout game, the Let It Snow search results snow storm, and the Barrel Roll.
