I just read an article about it this past weekend within the NY Times. And, I do NOT Believe that Google is alone in doing this. The author critized Google & others for doing this - since he claims that they are giving you a narrow scope of the world. However, it seems its NOT so bad what Google is attempting to do - even though it comes across as bad (as seen by everyone here grumbling). What they are essentially doing is attempting to PERSONALIZE the web experience for you. Based upon what you are doing Over Time in doing searches in Google - the two different people searching for the word Apple - One might get the Company - while another may get info on Cortland Apples - for instance.

I've had good results with DDG in the past, but forgot about it I guess. Another quiver in the toolkit!
