There is (browser?) malware out there that hijacks the google search results to show junk instead of what you are actually looking for. At one point I got bitten by this, it only sometimes replaced the results so it was a bit subtle and took me a while to pin down.
I wonder how many people on HN are infected by such malware and don't realize it? A lot of the complaints about search results are clearly not this, but when someone complains of outright spam for reasonable queries, I do wonder...
Weird, last week when I googled it, all I got was liscicles about "the best order to read WoT" and other blogspam. Just googled it now and it seems fine.

I am wondering how different everyone's results must be. [Also, I don't know how to format a list on HN…]
