GitHub is full of similar typos in documentation and code files (74.8k results). I am not sure if there's a way to do a web search based on code and find "live" examples but I can't imaging there'd be a shortage of those either.
Except this thing is opt-out and would put a whole lot of data on tens of millions of computers including things that were never stored by default (credit card numbers, reset codes, e2e encrypted messages etc).

True. They broke the basic Windows search functionality some time in 2007 and broke Outlook search around 2013 and neither of which have been fixed since.
