Matthew: I think you are honestly not aware of previous discussion of the matter. So:
"altered from what" is "altered w.r.t. the results that google would return without the CSE". CSE allows one to decide which sites are included in the search and which not. By now, at least, italian people gets english results, so a different order of them. I am not saying that ubuntu DOES alter the results. I am saying that users have no way to know that. That's because CSE has not been designed to be used as a google replacement but rather to index just some sites, so it is very obvious that results *should* differ. What you are trying to achieve is probably a technical abuse of the CSE. "the banners", perhaps you are using adblock. If you start firefox e.g. in the guest session in ubuntu, you'll see that the advertisement by google is much more prominent in the ubuntu search. Your average user will not use adblock, and will get more advertisement. -- start.ubuntu Google CSE has fewer features https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
