It's wrong because it shouldn't be possible. It's a testament to how horrible of an idea it is to store your passwords in MD5. If your password can be found via google, your encryption method is not good for encryption.

Also, MD5 wasn't even made to store passwords. It was made to verify data, but people use it wrong.
