Default Has Google been hacked?

I just ran several searches on google, from their "advanced" search page,
and NONE of them gave me any useful links at all.

The last search I ran was for exact phrase "the history of milk chocolate".
I got 184 totally OFF-topic results, which included (my favorite) "used
ultralight aircraft for sale in Australia". Oh, and all the links end in
..pl

It kind of looks like Google has been hacked. -Dave

I get it too on Linux FWIW. google.co.uk is OK

Google hasnt been 'hacked' but I think the domain .turek.pl has this
phrase in its HTTP Headers and somehow fooled Google. By having the sites
all refer to one another or something...

1. your search is not on first page of results. on the first page enough
good search results pop up

2. google isnt hacked its just tricked into thinking those pl-sites are
"useful" and this is be done since years. normally google knows about
and sometime later those sites disappear again.

Because of this, and the fact that other people don't seem to be having
the same experience that you have, the most likely solution is that you
have some sort of malware.

I agree 110% with this malware issue.

Anything's possible. But my antivirus software has completed two sweeps of
the entire system (with today's definition files) and has found nothing.
Ad-aware (with today's definition files) reports nothing. The system sits
behind a hardware and software firewall. It is about as secure as any
windows computer could be, which is to say, NOT VERY. -Dave
