I don't think this is a big deal, in fact, I applaude them for the effort because we lose a LOT of bandwidth to those worms every month. At any given time, of the 100-150 users online, atleast half of them are worms. And that's even after we filter 300-500 per hour by using our own query filtering.

Fascinating, though -- someone could create a worm to hit Google hard with legitimate terms -- and what would be the result? Effectively, a denial of search service (tm -- I coined that one wink2.gif) for that entire topic (at least for Google, which is still huge).

For example, code a worm to hit Google with ?s=Chris+Kenworthy -- take him off the map for a bit. Scary.
