It's now at http://www.google.com/dirhp – I wonder if "dirhp" means "Directory – High Performance"?

I wonder why they just don't redirect?

<< I wonder if "dirhp" means "Directory – High Performance"? >>

I'm sure there's sarcasm there ;-) ... but just in case not, I think the "hp" stands for "Home Page" ... as it does for these:

Web Home Page: http://www.google.com/webhp
Images Home Page: http://www.google.com/imghp
News Home Page: http://www.google.com/nwshp
Maps Home Page: http://www.google.com/maphp
Books Home Page: http://www.google.com/bkshp
Froogle Home Page: http://www.google.com/frghp
Groups Home Page: http://www.google.com/grphp

etc.

A text book at our school said go to www.google.com and click the tab labled "directory". I was the only one who got the answer to a later question because I went to directory.google.com
