Ah dammit, I found it... It was filed in the US.

I really only skimmed it, but from what I saw it looks like this only applies to search engines?

It reads like that.  It doesn't say anything about using HTML to directly link to a website.  If that were the case, the developers of HTML already would have rights to it as I believe HTML was developed before this patent.
That's Mr. Deception to you.
