Mods, can we change "go" in the title to "golang"? That's the official name, and it makes it searchable by search engines?

I'm sorry but the official name is Go. You can search for "Golang" or "Go Language" with no issue.

Would this thread come up under one of your suggested searches?

both the original article and the Reddit discussion come up in my results (as 1 and 2). the reddit discussion is only 16 hours old.

this HN discussion is too recent to show up in my results, however yesterday's thread about Qihoo and golang does show up as number 4 or 5 when searching for "golang qihoo".

no need to panic.

I still see it written as "Go" most of the time. It's unfortunate because I've picked up the habit of searching with "golang".

Go is the official name, golang is the only way to get reliable search results however.
