It has ***hijacked*** DNS-query-based Google searches. I CALL IT HIJACK because only one *format* of URL query (that I know of) on Google’s servers will make this ANOMALOUS and CALLOUS redirection. Ulevitch (the founder of OpenDNS) simply can’t deny this simple and truthful accusation.

Their query search is also severely English-centric. Imagine if you have a name TechnoLogics (take note of the last letter C before the last letter S) and you want to search for that. It COMPLETELY IGNORES your query and instead puts in its “politically corrected” version of your query and dishes up that result instead – and so you’ll be ending up looking at results for Technologies – which is not your real intention. They say that they’re correcting your typos – but what if it’s not a typo? This is utterly unacceptable. The world wide web is a world wide phenomenon. OpenDNS should be aware of that and remove its English-centric bias to gain respect from us Google-users.

One good example would be our recent optimizing keyword : SEO Web Design ranked #8 in Google.com.sg but was ranked #135 in Google.com

How are the data centers distributed ? By region ?

Which means that when Google responds to the OpenDNS servers, they may be directing you to a different data center than if your ISP was the one asking the question.

OpenDNS does not manipulate search results. If you think you’ve discovered an issue with OpenDNS in the future, I urge you to contact us at http://opendns.com/contact/

Good luck with your contest. :)
