I see the HTML source uses MathML:

<math display="inline" xmlns="<http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML>"><mrow><mfrac><mrow><mn>100</mn><mo>&#215;</mo><mn>1000</mn></mrow><mn>2</mn></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mn>50000</mn></mrow></math>

I couldn't tell from the screenshot what browser and OS you're using but for me (on Linux), it shows up as "100×10002" in Chrome but as a (correct) fraction in Firefox (3.5). In both it acts like "100×10002" in the contexts of searching and copying/pasting.

Ditto -- on Arch linux, chrome with javascript enabled does not work; firefox 3.6 does.

Correct. The Javascript is because apparently browsers have to be forced to render the MathML; I don't understand the details.

Debian unstable's Iceweasel.

I tried three browsers and in none of them did javascript make a difference. (I had both success and failure.)

(Just in case it wasn't clear, I do have JavaScript enabled in Chrome.)
