Why does it bring back any image at all when you enter a compeltely nonsensical word? Answer: it creates an association with a random image when you enter in a word that is not previously associated with an image.

Don't forget how Mr. Lomax came across the twexus site in the first place: the three words in the search term were listed in a search term seed page that the twexus site uses to boost it's appearance in search engine results. You can see that seed page here in the google cache of the page: There are thousands of miscellaneous words on the page so that the twexus site will appear in search results for many thousands of search requests via engines like google which use web spiders to build search results.

There is no reason to assume that jihadis are using the twexus site just because Mr. Lomax stumbled across the page via a misspelled google search, given my explaination of the usage of the search term seed page above. The jihadis would either had to have talked the site owner, Andreas Wacker, into putting those 3 words into his seed page just for them, or else they found his site via a similar google search and then they ululated with joy over their stroke of luck when they find his site to contain just the right images for their proposed attacks.

Getmain, you explaination doesn't fit with the raw html I have up from the site.

StillProud, are you here? Can you translate Ahlam hu Akhbar? I just tried an online translator, and I got nothing back. I need to know this ASAP, I have to check a word association.

Thanks, it is important.

I understood (perhaps incorrectly) that the associations were automatically added to the seed page. Did you read something different?

He did say that he could remove association terms from the seed, but I don't recall him saying he added them, I assumed they are Twexus generated?

Still there is the question - and this leaves me sceptical - as to how anyone would find those three specific images out of 21,000, and then add the associations in the correct order (or maybe the ordering of the images doesn't really matter?)

It seems like a very tedious and arcane way to convey obscure and elliptic messages. I spent several minutes manually flipping through the pics and couldn't find anything worthy of a "message".

Some interesting seed words (aka meta searches) in that search result page. Sean, I just freep mailed them to you. Comb through them. More words jumped out at me.
