Oh nice... but it wasn't that in 2009.. and there were some potentially embarrassing search terms display, scrolling past.. but sure, it was probably filtered at some point.

It used to be a slightly different app on a different link, but that's gone now; this one is the replacement (and what the reception displays now use).
