Doing this to combat bots like they aren't also using bots to scrape data from the internet is interesting.

I wonder how this affects modified/custom search engines (like udm14).

Udm14 is just a query parameter to open google with the "web" results tab. Still works.

I know, but I have it set as a custom search engine and what I'm saying is, if someone were to use it in chrome would it still require them to enable java. I think that answer is that it would. I don't use chrome so I'm not gonna test it.
