Sean, this is the 5th time I've tried to repeat your sequence, and it's not producing your results.

After I click "Did you mean" I get a page with three results, the second being a link to Twexus. When I click that it takes me to the main Twexus page, not to the three-image page.

It depends on the browser you are using. Using IE, it brings up the 3 images like Sean described. I've been using Mozilla Firebird this whole time, and I get the Main TWEXUS page when I follow the link. Which is part of the reason why I thought Sean had had to have entered the phrase in the TWEXUS search box (sorry for that misunderstanding, Sean).

There is a script on the site that takes the search terms from google and builds the page dynamically. For example, take any terms from the search term seed page here and enter them in a google search. Then follow the twexus link that google provides. The page served up will always be www.twexus.com/subpage_55/, but the images will vary depending on the search terms used. I think the script must not be able to retrieve the google search terms successfully except with IE as the user agent, so it just serves up the main page for other browsers.

So I was wrong -- it does appear that the associations with the 3 words did exist prior to Sean finding this page.

that's strange.

when you input: "Alhaam hu Akhbar"

You do not get: "Did you mean Ahlam hu Akhbar?"

That causes an automatic goole search which links the twexus page exactly as i found it, images right there.

That is why my eyes nearly popped out. Whoa!

Sean: I get the three image page. Win98 with IE.

Any clue on what the third picture [badly blurred] represents? The Las Vegas airport maybe? Just a wild stab.
