As has been stated, this has nothing to do with Python, so please stop
posting your questions here.

However, here's an answer to get you to stop repeating yourself: it's
not uncommon to find that content you're restricted from accessing via
a site's own search is available to you through Google. This has to do
with Google's policy of _requiring_ that pages that it is allowed to
index _must_ be available for view. Any site that allows Google to
index its pages that then blocks you from viewing them will swiftly
find themselves web site-a non gratis in Google search. As most
websites are attention whores, they'll do anything to ensure they
remain within Google's indices.
