Hmm? I don't think we have something in there that points explicitly to 
google.de - it just takes the referrer from the http headers, that's 
all. I just did a grep -r -i google.de on the source-tree and didn't 
find any hardcoded google.de stuff (it might have happend, as I usually 
would insert google.de automatically if I was to hardcode something like 
that, just out of habit). I would say that you actually _do_ get hits by 
german (or german IP range) searches :-)

Google does a bit of trickery: when your IP falls into some ranges, it 
forcebly switches you over to google.de because of the censorship stuff 
they implemented there (yes, we in germany get censored with google 
search results!), so maybe you are bitten by this, as google seems to 
switch a bit more IPs than is actually needed.

Or it just happens that I searched a _lot_ of stuff lately and that I 
often stumbled over pycs.net and so it's just me ...

Oh, I just checked in a little patch to searches.py so that it now 
recognizes altavista searches. I actually didn't get any up to now, but 
Phil does, and so I thought it would be nice if they showed up in the 
list, too :-)

bye, Georg
