Search on AOL.com shows the new Google update. Seems really fast if the "dance" isn't even over.

I don't know if AOL is showing the final update. On several KW searches the results don't agree with www2 or www3.

<added>...but there has been a shift in the results</added>

Well...I don't think AOL shows ALL of the Google results in the same order. Where I rank #3 on Google, I am sometimes #7 on AOL. Next to the search box, they say "Results ENHANCED by google". I guess they mix in results from some other database.

It appears that AOL may have some clustering problems right now. I have a site that is pulling 30 of the 40 top positions, eek! Includes positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

If you have an AOL account you can see they are using a google database that is brand new.
Plus, those wacky results you are seeing are not there.
The search results are pure google and it say "powered by Google" just like some the other companies that are using Google.

I believe that when the Directory is using the updated version (has been off and on for a bit), it is showing the new PR in the bar to the left of the site. So that's one way to check if you're in ODP.
