Hmmm I didn't notice that. Still, what exactly is the advantage of this? I don't understand what Max is trying to say... Embarrassed

I think he's saying it's a case of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. By using the Google tool here, this site gets better positioning in general google.com searches.

Depends on what you call annoying I guess. The google engine looks different and may be a bit slower, but at least it finds stuff.
