Hmm. Google put that in place as a solution to the phpBB worm that was going around. What I'd do:Nope.. any search does the same thing.. or any straight google search. One of the things we searched for was "test". Still doing it today. We can search for images, news or groups without any problems.
It is possible that there is a linux spyware thing working? Has anyone else had a problem? I connected to the net via a modem on the laptop (win98) and there was no problem with searching for "test".
* make sure you don't have the worm. Are you running apache with phpBB on any of the machines? If so, run a traffic sniffer that can see everything on the network, and don't do anything for a while. See if there is unexpected outgoing traffic.
* have you changed IP address? Maybe you've picked up one from someone else who had it. Try changing again.
This worm (Santy iirc) affects both Linux and Windows, although mainly Linux (as it requires things like Perl and wget that usually aren't installed on Windows).
