Interesting that the anchor URLs on results links don't change it seems (simply remaining as the destination URL), but the referrer information passed to the underlying site does change. (so it isn't the page that the results are on anymore) Am I missing something?

Take a look at the source, they use an onclick to calculate the destination URL on the fly. I believe this part has been in use for quite some time.
