Try to search for the word 'dissociation' by typing it into the YouTube search box. No response will be returned. You can search for other things without issue but that word will not even get a postback from the server. Its like a the script has been programmed to reject the search of certain words. Can someone verify this? Really strange. Are they that afraid of people learning the truth?

Works fine for me:

1. Open a browser window.
2. Go to youtube.com
3. Enter dissociation into the search box.
4. no post back
5. Type in any other term and it works fine.

I just verified it is still happening FOR ME. Perhaps it is not happening for you. I am a person who writes software for a living and writes web sites, web services, and other applications. I know this is not supposed to happen. The logical explaination is that a word filter is in place. Certain word searches are not going to work. Give me another plausible explaination for it and I will listen to it because I am open to non-conspiracy explainations. But this happened and is happening now.

If I go to the url window for the browser and enter:

http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...y=dissociation

then it will work. But if I type the word into youtube's text box, nada.

Because it works from the URL box but not from the search box it means that the culprit is client side, not server side. Something on my PC is blocking that search term on youtube.com.

After you hit enter, what shows up? Do you get a youtube screen that says "No video results for...." like this: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wsdf3d&aq=f

or do you get a 404 error screen? or something else?

works fine for me, any particular vid you were looking for?

There is no response. Nothing happens. Like I said, its not making a call to the server. There is client side scripting before the call to the server to make the search, and my search term is not letting the search happen.

Nothing specific. I was just doing a search and then I noticed it didn't work. And then I started searching for other things and noticed that all of those searches worked. And then I went back and searched for dissociation and it did not work again.

My explaination is that this is not a bug in youtube's web page. Instead, it is a search term that has been purposefully disabled, for whatever reason. Give me a different reason why I would observe this behavior and I will consider it but until then it looks like purposeful manipulation.

Hmm...it really doesn't make any sense why anyone would go to the trouble of writing a script to prevent you from searching a single obscure term on a single website.

Are you sure your not high?

j/k

I'd run a virus scan, just in case.

Maybe it does make sense. Maybe there is some video posted on YouTube on dissociation that someone does not want me to see. True, I can get around it by typing the term directly into the URL parameter, but the fact remains that it is happening exactly as I described. I do get high but I am not high now. I don't believe it is caused by a virus. What I am starting to do is to question a lot of things that I have always assumed I knew the answer for. We only think we know many things that they want us to think. We need to question more and assume less. True, it makes no sense for this to be done if you assume we live in a relatively free, benevolent world. But what if that is not so? What if each of us is watched a lot more closely than we think? This would be especially true for those people who were searching for answers as I am. In that kind of world it would make sense that they would try to block specific people from seeing or hearing things that would cause those people from connecting even more dots and realizing things that the powers that be do not want to be known.

Searching for 'dissociation' on youtube works fine for me.

There seem to be a growing number of people who can find videos related to the word 'Dissociation' in relation to your post.

Among the debated causes for your quandary we have the following options -

1) Someone or something unseen is accessing your computer and making it impossible to view anything associated with the word dissociation on youtube although curiously they don't mind you looking at the David Icke website which along with it's forum contains almost every conspiracy theory known to mankind. It would seem they have also allowed you to discuss the issue with other members of the general public and use the word 'dissociation' on other websites.

2) Something is wrong with your computer or your settings.

I hear you, but do you hear me? I'm on a web page that works for every other search term I put in but absolutely refuses to work for a singe search term. It does not matter if it works fine for other people. It doesn't work for me. As a computer scientist and software developer I am trying to explain how that could be. You basically are calling me a conspiracy nut and dismissing me, or that is the way I take your post. I believe I have been personally targeted with viruses in the past without visiting a web page to get them. I believe they can send viruses to certain computers. Anything is possible when you realize what we are up against. So please don't treat me like a child who does not understand the very basic things you said in your post.

I'm not...

If you have a virus there is something wrong with your computer.

What I am saying is this -

Put your mind at rest. It's probably something quite harmless.

God forbid, if I were going to launch a manipulative attack on someone over the internet like the one you describe, I would do something a million times more devastating than removing a word that can have several contextual meanings from a search engine.

As you are obviously pretty savvy with computers, it's only a matter of time before you locate the source of the problem. Don't worry too much.
