Barry's PUPPY #1 on MSN SEARCH... & #3 too!:]

[aahhaaa]

Yesterday I went to somebody's house to use their hispeed Comcast connection. I was going to show them Puppy (& leave a bookmark ).
They have a bleeding edge HP DVD wide screen laptop, but have no clue about even minimal computer stuff, so their IE was still set default on MSN Search.
I typed in Puppy and IE responded with a 407-8 error- 'Page Not Acceptable'. That pissed me off, so I tried to get it to go to Google, IE didn't want to do that either, but I got it there eventually.
So this morning I tried the same thing on my machine- usually never go to MSN, or use IE. If it happened again, I was going to chew them out here.

SO... instead PUPPY headed MSN's list! Here's the first unsponsored entries:

I just did a Google search and it was on the first page! 6th place.

That in itself is a hats off to Barry's effort.

Don't forget that Google tailors search results to suit your profile.
At least, I think they do, they do that for advertisements.
It is probably achieved by the cookie saved on your system.
Try delete the cookie, then do a search.
Then try from some else's computer.
