All results (except Wolfram Alpha and Google) had 3 sponsored links as the

Bing: 4 sponsored links to non-standard sites (one or two of which are known 
scam sites), followed by link to OO.o home page

Yahoo!: 3 Sponsored links (same as Bing's), followed by openoffice.com.au, 
Wikipedia article, a link to Bouncer (!), then varios other download sites, 
none of which are official OO.o sotes

Wolfram Alpha is useless, no results to any of the queries

Google: First 4 hits link directly to OO.o, 5th to Wikipedia, then to OO.o 
Portable,  Sun, skip one hit to Mac Porting project....

Pretty much the same as the other searches, Bing gives a link to Sun's page on 
OO.o.
