This is my ISP's search engine. I was typing in "dev.opera" in the address bar and I was redirected to these wonderful results. (Larger view)
Were search results this bad 10 years ago or so?

Does Mediacom use their own search engine?

They must do, 'cos that is REALLY bad.

I run a program called Yacy, which is a basically a search engine you run on your own computer - it's the worst search engine I know of (as far as results relevance is concerned), and it still returned opera.com domains as the top results.
