So much for organic search results on Google

2 points by skynetv2 ↗ HN
I was watching PBS NOVA LHC/Higgs episode (highly recommended), and wanted to look up Tevatron. The first result is

not Fermilab not Wikipedia

but an empty Google Plus Page. It seems like its an autogenerated page.

I tested it on multiple browsers and on incognito/private session as well. Same results.

Its just sad to see what Google has become.

I'm in Germany and this is while logged in. I can't reproduce what you claim. But Google is known to fragment their search results depending on previous usage patterns, I have never expressed interest in a particle accelerator though.

well, same thing. Do you believe Google Maps is first result, higher than Fermilab and wiki?
