I tried searching for 'pig 14' - and got back an error message that included (html removed):

It's a PHP application proxying Google search results based on the errors and results.

On my stock Android phone, all the searches just return blank pages. Are you saying it actually works on non-mobile clients?

Yes, it's a Laravel PHP application just as dangrossman said. It simply fetches the Google search URL based on your query and returns the results [0].

As you can see, it's returning a Laravel exception, displaying the Google Captcha check HTML code to avoid this type of thing.

I got an error while searching which contains a Laravel stack trace, in case anyone is curious what a small snapshot of their stack looks like: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/efa644da4f2713b...

We may have overloaded it by mentioning it on HN. Previously, the only users were probably the investors trying it out.

Best guess is there was a Victoria Zubkis, daughter of Steven Zubkis, who's body was found washed up under a pier in San Diego.

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Ocean-Beach-Pier-Death...

Apparently that's the CEO's daughter? But the only references I can find say the death was ruled to not be a homicide, so I don't get the references in the text to being murdered by a loved one. And why he put a eulogy to his daughter into the footer of all his web pages are beyond me.

I think mentally unstable and crazy can be rather orthogonal with the ability to scam people.

Can also see it as a clever ruse -- act a little bit "crazy" to attract some short sellers. In hope they'd think something like "This is some crazy company, so cringeworthy, looks overvalued, let's short it".

It reads like a serial killer's confession.

It looks like the crap they used to put in spam emails to get past the early spam filters

Same company behind them. Both domains are registered to the same email address.
