`The correct pinyin of girl in Nu` No, the correct pinyin is **nü**, and since **ü** is hard to type on a standard English keyboard layout, they substituted it with **v**.

It depends on the Pinyin input systems, which is not exactly Pinyin in the textbooks. For input, most of the time, you will get 奴 for nu, and 女 for nv.

The correct pinyin of girl in Nu, but when you type nu in none of the first searches are "Nu", or even if u type just "n" for that matter.

Why does it not appear, as it is a pretty common word.

Try 'nv'. It's actually 'nǚ' and since 'v' is not in mandarin pronunciation, it's quite reasonable to use 'v' in place.
