Have you ever been to http://www.google-find-it.com ? 

This is not an official Google site, but it gives you the same results as Google does.  Well almost. I noticed that the first two search results always direct you to a site called jacobsearch.com.  Every search follows the same pattern. The number one result says, “All about” + your search term.  The second, “Looking for” + your search term. The remainder of the search results seem to match exactly what you get from Google, except no ads.

Not sure what this is all about, except a way to get hits for JacobSearch.com.  Apparently, it didn’t work because you always get the same page with nothing on it. Appears to be registered to some guy in Argentina. You can lookup full details with a whois search.

All in all, I must admit it is rather nice to go to a site that is plain, simple, and not filled with ads. Sure, you have to ignore the first two results, but it is a pleasure to use.

I have to wonder why Google hasn’t tried to shut down this site. It is using Google graphics and misrepresents itself as an official Google page. Maybe it just isn’t worth their time and trouble.

If anyone knows more about this site, please comment.
