Interesting...

Can anyone explain how this is done?

I think it might be a simple exploit of the submit a site system http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Just Yahoo doesn't strip the bookmarklet, so when it went to the address, it found the site, and just left the bookmarklet in.

Or something like that.

Also works when searching Yahoo for “mcdonaldsforshizzo” (see update to post).

Eric > I just tested it, I'm waiting for the result ;-)

Or maybe it's because of links as "<a hreef="http://www.google.com/#mcdonaldsforshizzo"..."
(hreef is a mistake, I know...)

I should test this too...

Have you seen THIS?!
http://terrorists.google.com
This shows up in Yahoo if you search for
"terrorists.google.com"
(result #4)
And it doesn't show up in Google or in live.com

No, that link is just posted somewhere!

As you can see the Google URL works with any word say,
www.google.com/#beussery
for example.

April Fools Day is almost here!

It's a spam result, from spam pages being scraped and re-scraped:
