Google changed dramatically?

[Don McKenzie]

Still waking up, and I getting weird results on google search.

Well, weird is the wrong word, very different. In fact it looks great
for google search fans.

Maybe my computer is broken, or I am in a dream?
I assume this is the way it is to be from now on.

Have you noticed now that you don't have the radio buttons underneath the
search buttons so that you can select to do your search for either Aust or
for the whole web.

The work around is to add "+ au" to the end of the search string.

Firefox you mean? It certainly changed, but about a week ago, so it's
old news.

Google changed overnight. My day starts at 04:00 to 05:00 every morning.

I use google anything from 10 to 100 times a day I would say, and it has
been announced also:
http://www.itproportal.com/portal/news/article/2010/5/6/google-introduces-radical-changes-search-engine-look/
6-May-2010 was the date,

Google actually announced it on the 5th:

One thing hasn't changed. Google your own name and the box on the right will

still offer you the best deal on yourself and assure you that you are for
sale on ebay.

Not for me it doesn't. There is no box on the right.

I use google with seamonkey and it has been doing weird things, it

keeps redirecting to perfectly ordinary looking but diverse pages but
not what I wanted.
If I shut the page and re click on the url it goes to the right page
I spent 24 hrs loading a new version of a squared free and running it in
safe mode,it found some things which I quarantined.
Rebooted and google is still acting in the same stupid way.
The pages it redirects to do not look like the pages that nasties send
you to

Or click pages from Australia on the left on the search result page

There is a seymonkey user group. I visited there a couple of years back.

Get onto them. I'll bet they are aware, and may have answers.

I use a plugin called OptimizeGoogle. Among other things, it gets rid
of ads shown alongside your results (or first finds).

And thankfully, it still works with the "new" Google.

Since a couple of weeks ago google has been doing redirects (possibly so
it can collect statistics of which links are followed).

If I shut the page and re click on the url it goes to the right page
I spent 24 hrs loading a new version of a squared free and running it in
safe mode,it found some things which I quarantined.

This is weird, the redirect urls all have the eventual destination clearly
expressed in them. I wonder how google could mess up that badly.

perhaps you're the victim of a misbehaving HTTP proxy?

(Telstra-Clear (NZ) uses a transparent proxy, it seems to be well behaved,
I only discovered it when investigating a site that had problems if visited
through other providers)

I had something similar with gmail, try clearing all the cookies from
google.

If you want to use the old google without that stupid side bar , then use
these links

I have been thing that I was infected with something so I ran various
anti virus progs in safe mode but google is still acting strangely.
It behaves differently to my laptop with the same browser with the same
settings,it opens strange pages,sometimes blank pages in a separate
window when the laptop does not,during the strange searches
googleleaderservices.com comes up and sometimes google-analytics.com
flashes in the search line or down at the bottom
So it seems to be the computer or browser or some other program causing
it, have to do some more investigation.
all the virus detection programs say no infections since I ran them and
cleaned any problems.
