Sorry for the confusion.
Not the link itself, but the results, the found pages.
I search for “555-2368”.
With Hebrew letters, the display is “555-2368”.
With Arabic letters, the display is “2368-555”.
Look at the results.

And my other question

I write “1999-12-31”.
The display is “1999-12-31” with Persian digits.
The display is “31-12-1999” with Arabic-Indic digits.
