I typed multiple CAPTCHAs in, too, and still nothing. I'm just wondering if others are experiencing the same. It's frustrating. I use FF. I don't think it matters, though.

No problem here. I just searched a couple of things and it just came right up. No captchas or anything else odd. I use FF too. Is there someone else on your wireless/network that could be doing something to cause it? Or maybe someone in your area? It could be police searching for a hacker or something...but I doubt it. Probably just some random check thing.
