Type "Miles Davis" into the search engine.
View the source and look for "Cologne"  
<tr>
  <td valign=top width=20 align=right><b>08</b></td>
  <td>
   <font face="Helvetica,Arial">
    <b> 
     <a href="http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">
      Cologne
     </a>
    </b>
  </font><br>
  <font size=-1>
   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="600" height="153">
  </font>
 </td>
</tr>

Now I don't know why, but there is an unclosed empty <table> entity in there,
which is causing the search results to not render at all on Netscape 3 and 4.
