What was the website for people to lazy to, "Google it"

There was this website for people that would ask stupid questions and didn't want to spend the time searching for an answer on Google.

The premise was you would type in the search phrase and it would provide you with a link. That link would just redirect the user to a site that looks like google, and will have that search phrase being typed in, then the search button would be clicked. In essence it shows someone that they could have just, "Googled" there question instead of bothering you.
 
People who post those links need to grow up and get over their sense of self importance. Does it ever occur to you that many people get to forums via google... it's damned infuriating when you click into a thread from google and some smart ass feels the need to take you back there. When you can see the url you can learn to ignore it... it's another level of dickholeishness when people then encrypt that url with tiny url or a similar service.

I thought that was not possible on AT anymore?

BTW, I generally only use lmgtfy when the first Google result is the obvious answer to the question.
