The Google "I'm feeling lucky" button...
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 09:48 PM by McKenzie
search engines work off algorithms. Google has a very clever one (I'm feeling lucky" button) that aggregates all sort of search requests to return a single site. It tries to return exactly the one site it thinks the terms entered match most closely.

Go to Google's main page (not the advanced search sheet) and type in

miserable failure

no quotes and a single space bewteen the two words. Then click the r/h button titled "I'm feeling lucky". see what Google regards as a"miserable failure"...

4. I guess google 'fixed' that one. It used to come up with
Weapons of Mass Destruction as the #1 result.
