Greg, Odd. I'm not seeing the Google ads today. Return and [Google Search] give the same results. No results for sites other than gutenberg.org. Perhaps the Yahoo fix altered something. If someone else can replicate my original findings then perhaps add the following to the Help: Google may include ads for other sites if one presses the return key. And no ads if one clicks the [Google Search] button. I should have mentioned that [DuckDuckGo Search] and Return results are also restricted to the gutenberg.org as expected. The Yahoo search gives similar results with the Return or [Yahoo! Search]. The left side search results are restricted to gutenberg.org. (I saw a single ad at the bottom on the first test but it was not repeatable). The right side results occasionally include a Wikipedia article related to the search but I doubt this is within your control. If the quote is from a single book then all three search engines return the work most related to the search at the top. If the search is, for example, a quote from Shakespeare then there is a medley of books and there are differences in the order displayed. I do not use an adblocker but I do use the EFF's apps "Privacy Badger" and "HTTPS Everywhere" on Firefox. Cheers, Rick On Fri, Jan 17, 2020 at 12:00 PM <gutvol-d-request@lists.pglaf.org> wrote:

I'm not seeing what you are seeing with Google, probably due to my ad blocker. If you are pretty sure about this behavior (could others confirm?), what text might I add to the "Help" pop-up?

Thanks! - Greg

Tried the Full Text Search:

Yahoo is a 404 error that wants fixing.

Google includes ads if one presses the return key. No ads if one clicks the [Google Search] button. Probably not in your control but a short mention next to Google might be in order.

DuckDuckGo gives the same results with the return key and with the [DuckDuckGoSearch] button.

Other than the ads bit, both Google & DuckDuckGogave good text search results.

Cheers,

Rick
