had something like that... grrr can't remember EXACTLY the details, but the upshot was that for some reason, I'd installed some add-in for firefox and the effect (UNINTENDED) was that all my searches that failed got redirected ...

uninstalling the add-in was a little more complicated than normal, but worthwhile since I use search A LOT, but I used the add-in less. easy decision, moderately difficulty resolving it. look for something you recently changed about your browser to change your search engine preferences. I found the answer by googling the name of the search destination I'd been redirected to. good luck.
