Hiybbprqag 

A honey pot term used by Google to catch Microsoft's Bing copying their search results.

When you misspell a word in a search, Google tries to correct it for you. Sometimes, Bing would not catch the misspelling, yet would return the same first result as Google.

To test their hypothesis further, Google created fake spelling corrections, where the gibberish phrase would link to an unrelated page. They then searched for the phrase on Google, while using Internet Explorer with the Bing toolbar installed.
"Hiybbprqag" linked to the unrelated Wiltern Theatre.
A couple of weeks later, a Bing search for hiybbprqag turned up the Wiltern Theatre.

Similar things happened with "juegosdeben1ogrande" (jewelry website) and "delhipublicschool40 chdjob" (a bank)
