Yahoo Search used to (not any more) return a second search box as the first result if you searched for Google, because a lot of people with their homepage set to Yahoo would enter google in the Yahoo search box to get a link to Google to go there to search.

I don't remember the stats, but when I worked for Yahoo (2003-2005) they got a fairly substantial number of daily users to stay on Yahoo with that trick.
