gbeer carpal tunnel Registered: 17/12/2000 Posts: 2665 Loc: Manteca, California	Is there any way to filter out pages belonging to storefronts? I'd like to find pages about a product but not have to wade through the thousands of sites selling the item. _________________________ Glenn

The time my girlfriend was looking for Russian language audio streams to practice with was amusing.. her search query was "live Russian mpeg". She comes to me saying "I can't google, all I get is porn" _________________________ 80gig red mk2 -- 080000125 (No, I don't actually hate Alan Cox)

She comes to me saying "I can't google, all I get is porn" I was going to say try "franchise" on Yahoo Image search but they've fixed it now. Yesterday even with "SafeSearch" on it was returning image results from a specific porn site in the first 30+ places.

Seems to me it was either hacked (edit: meaning cracked), or the admin had some unusual content stashed. Edited by gbeer (25/11/2006 19:32) _________________________ Glenn
