I have some of the most aggressive security settings. And to be sure, I went back and deleted all cookies again. No dice.

Well, this will give me an excuse to sample other search engines. I was a heavy Altavista user until I found this new search engine out of Stanford ..

May be they were sampling based on user (you must be logged on?).

While doing such large A/B tests, they should definitely give an option to opt-out. Or at least a prominent feedback button to tell them how bad is their new design. It is as if Google will A/B test a new design and no-one will notice it?
