Reading the text from one of the links about Ovid Eastmond that Ovid Eastmond censored from Google, I am surprised that Google so readily removed the link from their search results - especially as it would seem that this has been a fruitless exercise. 

Certainly, whomever wrote the story at the link thinks that Ovid Eastmond is a cheater, but I wonder if Ovid Eastmond is censoring other results that tell other stories?

Out of idle curiosity, a search for Ovid Eastmond on other search engines does bring up one result that is clearly missing from the Google result, but Google states there are two links censored from a Google search for "Ovid Eastmond".

Bing and Yahoo both bring one link up that Ovid Eastmond censored Google for.

Ask.com brings nothing even vaguely useful up, although the mysterious "BadBoy report" does appear in a side bar.

At this point, I am running out of search engines to use. I remember altavista, but that is now Yahoo; Dogpile used to be the best meta search engine and this doesn't disappoint - giving similar results to Bing.com to the query "Ovid Eastmond". This includes the seemingly oft cited opinion that Ovid Eastmond is a cheater.

Ironically, the 1st link for a Google search for "Best Search Engines" only lists Google as 10th :)
