[FF 26 or 27, Ghostery with all trackers blocked & ABP with 4 default lists enabled]
When you use the "Lyrics & Knowledge Search" on http://www.mudcat.org (top left of the main page, upper input box), then check the results, don't find what you wanted & scroll back up to re-phrase the query, there are again two boxes, but placed higher than on the main page, making it easy to accidentally use the lower ("Or try Max's Handmade Magic Multi-Site Search" instead of the correct one ("Try Again?"). Having done so several times (each time the result was a blank page, loading on end), I got a YouTube suggestion containing a phrase that I'm absolutely sure I've never searched on Google within a period by far exceeding the age of my cookies & that I did search on Mudcat. May it be because ABP fired first and prevented some Google Search clone from loading, but not from getting the data? I've observed that, unlike in Chrome, in FF disabling & re-enabling ABP never makes it get to work after Ghostery, not even until the end of the current session. Anyway, the "Ghostery prevented the site from redirecting you to..." page would be expected.

Ghostery not preventing redirect (www.mudcat.org)

1"Max's Handmade Magic Multi-Site Search" is a Google Custom Search.
YouTube is part of the Google family.
There's nothing unusual going on here.

Ah, so using this box is just like using the default search box on google.com! Thank you, I somehow groundlessly jumped to the conclusion that if the results page didn't show, it was blocked, and then if it was blocked, this was because of a redirect.

Not exactly, but if you'd followed the above link, you would have seen
searches sites including: www.thebards.net/music/*, maxhunter.missouristate.edu/*, folkmusic.about.com/*, *.nodepression.com/*, *.etymonline.com/*
It's a Google search, but one that favors particular sources — so its results may be more relevant than what you might obtain otherwise.

I did follow the above link; I meant that what you enter there gets registered by the (extended) Google family just as if you entered it on google.com. Most custom GoogleSearches I've happened to encounter so far worked correctly and had no custom name, that's why this one baffled me. Thanks again!
