MSN search spiders itself?

Taking meta-searching to the extreme?

So, I'm sitting here on a Friday night watching my server logs scroll past live - sad isn't it - and picking out the odd referrer to see what keywords are generating traffic. And there's this one referrer from an Asian language search.msn.* site, and right above the result for my site there's the URL for that very same search bang the middle
of the SERPS. Looks like this:

...

# [search.msn.......]
* search.msn.../results.aspx?q=blahblah

# blahblah - mysite.example.com
Blah Blah blah blah ...
* mysite.example.com/blahblah.php
...

where [search.msn.......] is basically the URL of the current page minus various extraneous GET parameters.

Weird.
