I thought of that also, using something like Lynx or something. People have
found various ways to stack the searches now and then but this is, I think,
only temporalily successful. Google mentions this on the link I posted
earlier. Lately I have noticed ad-supported search sites clogging up the top
of the result list, by that I mean pages that have the words I search for on
the page I get but these words only lead to other pages, like a gigantic
cache of text from sites. Does that make sense? I suppose this would mean
there is a flaw with how google is tricked by these sites but I guarantee
you that they are working on eliminating these posers.
