ONE 'G', DAMMIT!

Today, I was browsing on Wunderground when I saw a reference to "Kellog, Russia". Curious about the name, I googled it. (Was it named, somehow, for the Kellogg of Kellogg-Briand?) Not wishing to read about breakfast cereals, I entered "kellog russia" - and was greeted with a list of references to the cereal company's activity in Russia.

I typed in "kellog" - and was returned to the same page.

I tried again, and got "Results for 'Kellogg'" with the usual "See results for 'Kellog'". I clicked on the latter, and finally got somewhere near where I wanted - but with a querulous "Did you mean 'Kellogg'?"

Would it really be that hard for Google to remove that last bit when someone clicks on "See results for..."?

[Oh, as for the original question, all I found was a Wikipedia stub, with no information about the origin of the name. I thought for a moment I'd glimpsed an explanation, but the local language is "Ket", not "Kel". Grmph.]
