WHOA.

I *have* always detested all the extra characters that firefox (or google)
inserts into the URL.  Perhaps somewhere I have in my account an "idiot = ON"
setting.

But my Firefox search doesn't show the guy:

But I get the same thing in Safari:

AND my problem with that Asian prof was off an Android phone.

So you get a reasonable response to that "Paull" query?  Any tips on how to fix
Google?
