Google ebay Amazon Search Redirect Glitch video


  As was reported the other day in AuctionBytes Blog, there seems to be a glitch or something when searching the term "ebay" (note the quotes.)

  I managed to get the same thing late last night, but only when I searched with the quotes. After reproducing that several times, I recorded it on video. So whatever the problem is, it is more than  a one-time thing.

You will see me open the properties of the top results link without quotes in the search, then the top results link with the quotes as part of the term.

This embedded flv below is not all that clear. I have the avi here. which is much more clear. 8MB filesize. Note the time & date created are encoded into the file name 20071212_004337

As I post this, I get normal results, BTW.
This video is 2 minutes 49 seconds. It has a few navigational sounds, no music



This is the url (broken here with hard returns) you see me get from link properties & paste into notepad:
