Why is it hard to Google about "hala kahiki"?

Most of the pages only show bars or restaurants with that name.

And Google Translate does not recognise it too. When I translated "pineapple" into Hawai'ian, it gave "nā paila"

Is this word recently coined?

From my internet searches, apparently hala refers to a tree or fruit that grows in Hawaii. The name hala kahiki literally means "foreign hala."

Finally, an illuminating answer. Mahalo!

Paina (painaʻāpala) looks to be just a transliteration of the English. I definitely wouldn't rely on google translate for accurate Hawaiian. Dictionary link

Elsewhere I've seen this as one word, "halakahiki", not as two. Are both valid?
