The other day I searched for "canned cabbage soup". The mobile website locked into a mode I've never seen before.

It would only provide blogspamish recipes for canning your own cabbage soup linked through the tiled suggestion interface. Not a single text-style link was returned and none of the results were pre-canned soups. I scanned though page after page without getting anything else.

Oddly, when I searched "canned cabbage soup history" it switched modes and started providing normal results, including the product and Wikipedia.

What strikes me about this is that I was actively searching for a product I wanted to buy. If there's any business case for ruining Google with weird specialty searches it would be selling products.

Why is there a "provide blogspam" mode?

Also, I'm now asked if I'm a robot at least five times a day.
