I'll bet you dollars to donuts that what you're seeing here is not fun
with DNF but actually fun with _bash_, and with wildcards in specific.
Bash does a helpful but sometimes annoyingly magical thing where if a
wildcard doesn't match anything, it passes the wildcard character on to
the command. So, since you have nothing that matches *Google* with a
captial G in your home directory, DNF gets those, and does a wildcard
search (and defaults to being case insensitive).
But, I bet you have a file containing *google* in your home directory.
Now, the wildcard matches, and DNF is asked to search for whatever that
exact filename is — and then since that's unlikely to exactly match a
package name, you get no results.
Try
dnf list available "*google*"
which keeps the wildcards from expanding.
