They've already removed it, so your little circular argument doesn't work anymore. Nice try though.
Speaking for others intent, even corporations, using conflicting statements doesn't make anything better - it makes things worse.
Removing it after it has been on the front page of HN is straightforward. We can't say how long it was there or how many users have been duped by this already. The case might be similar for other search terms.
Imo if you cant serve me up non virus ridden ads GTFO, and I really enjoyed google search before so I am not bashing it because of some personal agenda, I used to find it the best search engine by far and would continued to use it if I found it worked like it used to, prolly despite virus ridden ads that I have encountered personally on the google.
