Has anybody else noticed that when you search
www.ecoscentric.com, you allways get are a bunch of youtube
links unrelated to eCos?
Does that make sense to anybody else?

It's indeed strange. I have never seen youtube-links, but here is my
story: I am using Opera 9.52 on debian. Wenn I launch a search on
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss I get a fraud warning which
reads as follows:
The page you are trying to open has been reported as fraudulent. It will
likely attempt to trick you into sharing personal or financial
information. Opera Software strongly discourages visiting this page.
I ignored the warning and ( of course) nothing happened, not even an
attempt to trick me out, but what's gooing on here?

Thanks for letting us know. Google has changed the way you do site
searches, and nobody here noticed. That is why you were getting the
youtube links. Now fixed.

I think that Opera has, for some reason, decided that sourceware.org
hosts viruses, maybe because some of some old email in the archives.

It appears google, that great wonderous beast, g00fed!

Pretty much anyone using google's free site search facility on their
website, and in some cases paid-for, has found that youtube is #1.

I guess they are human after all.

I wasn't searching for anything that resulting in any, um,
"interesting" clips. I imagine it could be a bit embarassing
should your users frequently search for terms that have
multiple meanings.
