I just found out about this, it is a pretty cool feature. Especially if you have free text messaging on you phone.

LOL And this is a bad thing? I am not too sure, maybe because there are so many of them.

From Google SMS Help:
You will get no results if your phone is configured to add signatures to all outgoing text messages.
Have you tried "McDonald's" instead? If still fails, maybe you shouldn't ask for McD anyway
