Compuserve results go as nutty as AOL's

now with Google, but without clustering

I haven't seen mention of this yet, so I thought I'd put it up. Compuserve's search results look a lot like AOL's -- enhanced by Google and with no clustering. Looks good in terms of rankings for any one well-optimized client, but from a user's perspective, feels spammy and without a diversity of choice. This, with AOL and Netscape, makes for a rankings bubble that feels likely to burst.

Same results as in Netscape. They seem filtered to sites hosted in the US.

My Compuserve and Netscape rankings numbers are close, but still with a five percent deviation in totals (Netscape having slightly higher totals). But they are VERY close.
