Change your DNS provider as described in the answers to “What is the proper way to change the DNS IP?”. You may be able to change the DNS server entry in your router to affect everyone in your LAN.

This is your ISP (in this case, Centurylink) trying to be helpful and resolve all unresolvable domains to a "helper" page that shows you a list of search results
According to their "Why am I here link?":
The CenturyLink Web Helper service provides helpful search results to
our customers when they would otherwise encounter web address errors.
You are seeing search results offered by the CenturyLink Web Helper
service because you clicked on an invalid link or entered an invalid
Web address into the address bar of your browser. Misspellings and
typing errors frequently cause these errors. In instances where the
site you were looking for is clear, you may not see this page at all.
Instead, the service may take you directly to the site.
