When did the search results change to this? I don't see cache links and the more links are right before the description.

Those look like Google Base results?

The results are similar (not the web part tho) to the Google Base search for v7ndotcom elursrebmem that I'm doing. Where did you do the search?

I have seen Google Base throw off very unusal results (based on Toolbar queries when I wasn't logged in) purely on cookie data - seriously personalised search stuff. Maybe something similar happening?

I thought maybe I was signed into google accounts or something, I looked and I wasn't.

I have tried the search a few different ways (toolbar, firefox google homepage, google web), every time the same set of results.

Let me try in IE.

Same results in IE. Anybody else getting these type of results?

Clear your cookies then try.

I had an issue with a client (competitor had assloads of adwords ads for a particular term, "town service" format). Over a period of a few weeks I searched for that term a lot (via TB). Check Google Base for one of my own keywords and it started throwing me regional results for the town I searched for. I never logged into Google in that time (I hardly ever do) and other PCs in the office gave different results. Cleared cookies = all was well again.

That did it. I don't see any results now.
