Yes, you /can/. It's the first result. You most likely have adware
spyware that is rewriting the result page.

You have no idea how google works. Too bad. There is zero ways for
anything I do to change what google displays. It searches for a fit to
the words I write in. There is nothing in my Firefox that can change
what google presents.
And your saying my Firefox is changing things within the google
page. Not possible.

Greasemonkey. It's an addon for FireFox which you probably *don't*
have installed. However, it re-writes web pages to change the look and
feel of them, or to add new functionality.

Sorry I do not believe a word you say now. You seem to derive fun
from trying to delude me. So please stop replying to my messages. Any
more I will not answer.

Brenden got a new email address (search the archives)... but the
questions remain:
1. Did you clear your browser cache and try again? If so what was the
result?
2. You did 'what' wrong, & not do what again? Yes, I know that's an
open-ended question. But specifically related to "this" issue what is
the answer to that question?

What Steve is alluding to is a plug-in for Firefox that lets you alter
how web pages appear via javascript:

It appears that the original search term was "open office" and not "openoffice". *On Safari on Mac OS X, "open office" returns three sponsored results prior to the openoffice.org result.

The answer to MY problem is simple. Bring up Google and ask it to find:
openoffice.org
not
open office
I have been watching the URL's Google finds with the question "open
office". The scam I discovered is still there but not as numerous. I
think the scam artists are pulling out.
When I use "openoffice.org" I always never get the scam URL's.

That IS interesting but it has ZERO to do with the open office
problem. The same as reloading Hardy and virus protection :-)
