This isn't the same search. The parent post had quotes around the phrase. You.com returns identical copy-cat results if you do the same search.

To be fair, not sure what other results we'd expect if we're going to search for a specific, plagiarized phrase.

Edit: actually, upon review, you.com does indeed give one extra useful result within the top three. So one point to gryffindor.

Yeah, I posted an exact search solely so people could see examples of the copycat sites. It's not a good example of a real life query in any way, and not useful for comparisons. It is interesting that Google puts one of the copycats above SO though.
