Ogden, IA | Iowa telecom search hijacking I have noticed lately that when doing searches from the main address bar the results would come back as "powered by Yahoo" even though yahoo was not my provider.
At the bottom right of the page is a link (about this page) explaining I misspelled etc something. "microsoft" and was sent to this provider.

Personally, I don't think they should be allowed to hijack searches when the word is spelled correctly. Also, the opt out should be on the main page results. |
