two of six computures outside of our office show INK as default on Y at this time, including mine.

at the bottom of the screen "search technology provided by Google" is NOT present. And a pure INK result set is showing.

anyone else?

I'm not seeing ink results.

Also, at the bottom of the serps page, for several different and completely unrelated searches which I just ran at yahooie, this tag line is still appearing:
Search Technology provided by Google

yes- yahoo.com it is as clear as day that it is the exact result set that you see from //search.positi*ntech.com

comfirmed definatively on two computers to this point. there has got to be more.

Just checked several keywords (some major one's), and I too see only INK results. Going through .com and searching from the U.S.

Perhaps they're testing.

Just to add one additional comment... also tested using Netscape ... shows typical Google results, but doing the same through MSIE, I get INK - odd.

Must be a test. I'm seeing G results.

Last week Ali Diab, director of product management for U.S. search in a comment about their new interface hinted at changes to come [news.com.com]:

This is one thing among many that you will see in the next month, in terms of improvements in helping our users find what they're looking for...

Those who subscribe to the back room would have been in the know already.

Dont like to start threads like this, but don't know what else to say but pure INK results are showing on 5 confirmed computers of 25 in my radius. When the results show they show for all search phrases typed in, they mimic a pure ink search, and the "search results by google" does not appear.

This is the first time that I have seen this. This is all i know for sure.
