I see many posts about google tailoring results based on those that result in the highest income for google. Many of the hits that I get with http://duckduckgo.com won't even come up on google no matter how much I change the search. For example, I read a lot of things on cms.gov, www.nhicmedicare.com and other Medicare contractors. Google obviously does not make any money from those searches and clicks.

Looks nice -- Stupidly, I didn't know that Googlemonster was tailoring your search results based on what it *thinks* you want. (Bogus, though I understand what they are trying to do, having personally been trying to read users' minds for the last 25 years. [that is if the phrase "users' minds" is not self-contradictory <g>].)
