Works ‘fine’ for me. But, I don’t have a base level to compare previous searches with.

ONLY get results from Free Republic by appending “site:freerepublic.com”
Still working for me, same as always.
You may want to be scanning for Malware at this point.

Sounds to me more like a technical glitch than intentional...but nowadays....who knows.......
To: Yossarian
So I put in “Site:freerepublic.com no longer linking”, and this thread is the first item on the list

I only needed to type “free rep” and a link to Free Republic popped up at the top of the search results.

The Florida Department of Children (whatever they’re calling it this month) is a monument to government mismanagement. I wrote about it on FR some years ago and at that time was able to find records of the many missing and murdered children, events which occurred while in “protective” custody. But now there is no trace of those records. I know somebody who currently works for them and he said a recent government report says they’re missing some 450 children of the 44,000 in custody. They are seldom missing fewer than this number. But I was unable to find anything on Google.

I watched in mounting horror as google systematically “disappeared” half a million hits of searches for images of “obama birth certificate” in mid-July 2008.
It was no “technical glitch” then.

They can't STAND the TRUTH !
May I recommend
www.dogpile.com as your default search engine ?

Happening for me too. The results come up but they lead to the redirect page rather than the story on freerepublic.

You need to search for Malware on your computer. The problem is not with google as I and several others here have it working.

I encountered the same problem minutes ago, when I was logged out of my gmail user account and googled key terms including the site:freerepublic.com qualifier. I use that site restriction method occasionally as well for freerepublic, but today I saw that a high percentage of results were links to the redirectors, like you said.
Thankfully, I found that using site:freerepublic.com/focus instead seemed to clean the results from all the redirector links. Unfortunately, that might exclude some results that you'd rather keep. I think you might get a fuller picure if you also do separate search using site:freerepublic.com/tag
Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a way to combine two "site:. . . ." restrictions in the same search.

I just did a search on “Yossarian site:freerepublic.com” and it came up with 67,800 results.
I haven’t had time to check all 67k, but the first page of links go right to FReerepublic.com.
