    I dont know what your search engine is but go ahead and google it.. just go to www.google.com and it will take you to google search and type in wht your searching for, and you should not get any redirections, altho it depends on what words your using to search too, if your not precise when you search, for instance, search, candy and you will get alot of results for all kinds of candy.. type specific kind, like peppermint candy and you will be directed to peppermint candy only.. if you get what I am trying to say.. I have used internet explorer, and fire fox and went to google chrome and my computer runs 100% faster and is very precise..
