Google in Netscape

Fascinating. I've just discovered that Google search results are slightly different when you are using Netscape as opposed to IE. Why in the world would this be the case? I think that the Netscape cache is lagging behind IE in time. I will try this test in a few weeks and see if it changes.

The example I used is a search for "Peotone Airport". If you are using IE, notice that "Beyond Stupidity: The Peotone Airport Proposal" is number 3 on the list. Using Netscape 6.2, that page does not appear at all, though most of the others do, but in a different order.

In the Netscape URL bar, "&lr=" appears in the search URL, probably some kind of browser notifyer. That's the only difference. Very wierd!
