Hopman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Go to google. Input "Liar". Hit "I'm feeling lucky". Following the display of the result, view source. Go into "Edit" and "Find". Input "liar". NO RESULTS FOUND Does anyone know how this happens? How can a key word (in the original search) not be found in the source coding?

Nazo Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It's done through referring links. Lot's of pages link to that page using 'liar' as the link text so google associates that term with the page. It's a technique commonly known as Google bombing. Type failure in and you get a similarly political result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type failure in and you get a similarly political result. Another - type in "french military victories" and click 'I feel lucky'. A hangover from the lead up to Gulf War II. Freedom Fries Anyone?
