I personally think "9. fnb online banking" is far worse in character count

That's nothing, the last time MyBB had an article like this, one of the top 10 was Facebook. Also up there was Google. Yup, people used a search engine to search for the address of that same search engine, I **** you not. Some people should have their internets confiscated by reason of extreme retardation.

Searching for Google can make sense. If you are looking for e.g. Google Latitude or Google Goggles or asking a question about Google Streetview, then "Google" will rank fairly high, if they consider seperate parts of the query. Of course, if you search for just "Google" it is kinda dumb.
