Nothing new... I wrote up Charter Communications about a year ago for doing the same thing... I guess its no better (or worse) when Google does it... Must admit.. it pissed me off the first time I got the Charter/Yahoo page when entering a search command in my address bar... used to be the case that with Firefox you could enter a term in and the displayed page was the "I'm feeling lucky" Google result... after this hi-jacking started that functionality went out the window... shame.. I liked it... I am guessing since Charter is already hi-jacking my 404s, the Google jacking won't affect me anyways :)

Here is my original write up of the creeps... http://blog.eznet.frih.net/?p=62
