What do you think, am I right about this?

It doesn't honestly look like it. I've not been able to get the same results as you either. Mine look varied and useful.

Although I will say that now with Instant search, the "I'm feeling lucky" button is both redundant and impossible to use. As soon as I start typing, I get a results display and the IFL button has disappeared. (To be fair, there's no point really)

Here's what I see (with personalisation). Without is roughly the same, only the two ads top right are missing and replaced with something that looks more generic.

davewasthere, hmmm, folding sun hat is not exactly my search term. Seems you are in the UK, I am in NYC, but this is what I am getting: http://blog.thatwayhat.com/blogfiles/folding-sun-hat-Google-...

I would not have searched exactly for this before, but I am getting 4 in a row from ifactoryoutlet.com 3 in a row from dharmatrading.com 11 in a row from alibaba.com etc

Hey Dave, if you are still interested -- I figured out what is causing my funky search results. If you set your google search to return 100 results on a page, you will see the same: multiple results in a row from a few domains. (I edited my original post too, so that people can see how to duplicate the problem).
