    I hear ya, bro'! Do you happen to know how you would you implement something like this, but have it read in a list of banned words/domains, rather than just having one hard-wired keyword? I've long wanted something like Googl

    Hmm... I wonder if there's a common postcode lookup software used in Germany that's to blame for this? I recently moved house and had to update my details on Spreadshirt's [also a German co.] website. As with you, their site
