"Connected expert" needed... I have the energy to put this warning where I hope The Right Person will see it. Not enough to fight with Google on the community's behalf.
Several times in May 2017 when I asked Google where to go with "openoffice download", the first result looked good..
Apache OpenOffice - Official Download
https://www.openoffice.org/download/
Official Apache OpenOffice download page...
... And within that...
Apache OpenOffice Downloads
Apache OpenOffice Downloads - 3.4.1 ...
which does indeed take you to the page to download the OLD version of OpenOffice. How many newbies will know that "3.4.1" is old?
I hope that wonderful soul "someone" can get this fixed. Is Google being "clever"... trying to hurt OpenOffice? Would they do that? (Occum's Razor says cock-up more common than conspiracy... but I trust Google less and less, sigh.)

Re: Misleading results from Google
When I tried it just now it popped up the latest version (4.1.3) for my linux.
Edit: I've just checked it with an XP machine and again I get offered 4.1.3 |

Re: Misleading results from Google
Well, I see the same, the 3.4.1 is the 3rd choice:
