Yes, fun new searches that don’t make any sense, unless you understand German, Italian or French. There are work-arounds, of course, but the whole world of Web anonymization does take some getting used to. Here’s my favorite passage from the Wiki FAQ:
If you really want to see Google in English you can click the link [on the search results page] that provides that. But we consider this a feature with Tor, not a bug—the Internet is not flat, and it in fact does look different depending on where you are. This feature reminds people of this fact.
So there.
