It is the same from Spain. Apparently Google is optimized for non-native people who possible don't see a real difference among `n' and `ñ', or have no method for typing an `ñ' (by law, all keyboards sold on Spain must have a dedicated key for `ñ'). Google is being dumb here (from an Spanish-speaking POV, maybe not so from other's POV).
