Every once in awhile, I get directed to another type of search engine. I've pretty much written it off to being hijacked by certain sites, and also the sometimes strange behavior that is associated with certain 'toolbars' that you may have on your browser.
That, and once you get directed to the 'other' sites, almost impossible to get back without either typing in a new URL or simply re-executing the original search from the google search menu.
