Hi Guys,

Well, this is definitely happening and definitely very odd.

Just tried it with IE6 and Firefox and pretty much all of my searches are different. My initial thought was that it could have been locale or maybe a difference in the values that are returned from the browser to the server so I tried the same searches from another PC running the exact same OS and browser and guess what......? Difference results?

Now, both machines access the Internet through the same Firewall so will have the same IP address, http_user_agent, locale settings etc, everything will be the same apart from things like MAC address but Google have no access to that right? So why are two identical machines getting different results?......Intriguing

Will be digging a little deeper when I get more time but for now this is a mystery, Yahoo, as others have pointed out seems to be OK though :-))

Cheers
Andy
