Accurate Search?

My goodness! I've received my fair share of search engine referrals in the past, some more unusual than others.

This one from yahoo search takes the cake, though:

Now admittedly I showed up only on page 3 of the listed results, but the fact that the person doing the search actually ended up on my page shows you that the results on the previous two pages were not of any more help to them than mine was.

And I thought search engines were supposed to be getting more accurate and intuitive...

(I hope the poor guy found what he was looking for, eventually)

That's a very odd one indeed. I am often amused by the unusual queries that lead to my site; it is generally the most obscure comments which draw the hits -- ones which I've long ago made and immediately forgotten.
