Mr. Scram:
For some reason I keep reading "the impedance of Microsoft".  :palm:

If enough people did this, it would hurt them badly, because now the wrong ads get put in front of the intended audience, and the value of the advertising "space" drops as a result.

The real search will be the one where the results get clicked on. Couldn't be easier for them to figure out.
