    Spamming the search cloud

    If you go to Advanced Search, there is a search tag cloud. One item appears larger than all the others when I view the area: Gold Investments. This is clearly not a programming item, nor is it a hot topic on any forum, which makes me think that a third party bot may have added it.

    I have never paid much attention to that cloud, but I always figured that some factor influenced the size of the text. How did such an obvious spam item get in there and at such size?
