PrimeMinisterK:Probably nothing, but Google does. It customises searches on several criteria, among those the language setting of the browser you are searching with. I bet ours are different
You say you Googled and got X number of hits. For instance, 8590 for "Dankon pro la informo." I did the same and got over 136,000 results. What are we doing different?

PrimeMinisterK:The "problem" is that English has three verb forms ending with -ing: gerund, participle and deverbal noun.
"Atentigo" seems like a strange word to me. It's apparently translated as "drawing attention." That sounds like an action, not a noun.
- gerund: I like dancing : Mi ŝatas danci.
- participle: Are you watching tele? : Ĉu vi rigardas la televidon?
- deverbal noun: Loud shouting makes me angry. : Laŭta kriado kolerigas min.

Metsis:The "problem" is that English has three verb forms ending with -ing: gerund, participle and deverbal noun.Thanks for the info.
I think that the translation "drawing attention" falls into the last category, i.e. "drawing" is a noun derived from a verb. In any case Esperanto nouns ending in -igo and -ado often get translated into such deverbal nouns in English.
- gerund: I like dancing : Mi ŝatas danci.
- participle: Are you watching tele? : Ĉu vi rigardas la televidon?
- deverbal noun: Loud shouting makes me angry. : Laŭta kriado kolerigas min.
It seems you know a lot technical information about grammar. Do you work professionally in some related field?
