Nope. FR still gets a couple of hits from content keywords alone, just like the other sites. And if you want hits only from FR, do like the following.
keywords here site:freerepublic.com

Google is my search engine of last resort. I much prefer Dogpile, using Google only if Dogpile fails.

I don’t know if Google is censoring FR, but I strongly suspect that some colleges in the Twin Cities metro are filtering FR from their machines. You can type in the URL and get there by link, but the browsers do not retain FR’s addy and error screens are common.

I’ve quit using Google and use ixquick instead.
You can even substitute it for Google on the IE7 toolbar.

How about Clusty?
http://www.clusty.com
I use that one all the time instead of Google.

I would be interested in any available follow up information on this “blocking”.
I just checked out the site and saw the story of the confiscated bumper sticker. I have had 3 removed in parking lots.
I am looking for a Tea Party one now.
THEY ARE COMING FOR US ALL!

I used the advance search for an old post I didn't remember much about as to keywords. It came right up, but then it wasn't the right page. I tinkered for a bit then found it.
Google I use almost exclusively. Habit. Often recent regular google searches, FR comes up near the top, don't see any reason to worry about it yet.

Of course FreeRepublic gets plenty of incoming traffic from Google and everywhere else. There can be no question about that.
I am talking here about outgoing traffic. When FreeRepublic links to other Web sites, does Google keep proper track of the traffic those Web sites are receiving from FreeRepublic?
Our experience suggests that it does not -- at least not in all cases.

Clusty is a metasearch engine that makes requests to other search engines. That’s alright for using several other search engines in one search. I used metasearches sometimes during the ‘90s.

Dogpile is a liberal/left outfit, too, IMO./i> Really? Do you have sources? The only thing I can say with a certainty is that they seem to observe "American" holidays in rather more American fashion than Google (though Dogpile did miss Washington's Birthday).

On any given day you will find a series of totally repetitive anti-Darwin blog articles posted as NEWS, while any discussion of actual science is relegated to general CHAT. How seriously should schools take such a site?

Last night I was on an FR gun control thread. Went to Google in an attempt to find more info about the Hungarian Revolution and guns. To my surprise, Google listed that very thread at the top of the results page. Thread was only about an hour old.
