Well the actual href within the page returned will be direct to the site but it calls a javascript function on mouse click.
For example
this search brings up the first result as "
http://www.lorddef.net"
Inside the tag in adition to the href="
http://www.lorddef.net/" is the following:
onmousedown="return rwt(this,'res','1','')
which calls the following function:
function rwt(el,ct,cd,sg){el.href="/url?sa=t&ct="+escape(ct)+"&cd="+escape(cd)+"&url="+escape(el.href).replace(/\+/g,"%2B")+"&ei=P8UNQ__2Ao7AwgHZyLGbBQ"+sg;el.onmousedown="";return true;}
Which seems to send it to a redirect instead. If you have javascript disabled then you'll just go straight to the href.
