Jesse Ruderman notes changes to Google. As best I can tell words in searches still link to dictionary.com rather than answers.com but I have noticed that going directly to google.com seems to be redirecting me to the local version at google.co.uk
I can’t really comment on the increase in words per query as I wasn’t aware there was one to start with, though eleven words were accepted. Presumably these are new changes just being rolled out – how they might affect googlewhacking remains to be seen
Update: I too now see links to answers.com I note that it doesn’t seem to be particularly good at getting definitions of plurals any more (for example, thoughts and definitions don’t get linked – even to the singular versions – I’m fairly sure they would have when using dictionary.com
