Amen. I could believe that.

I mean, I type in "football" (actually I wouldn't as I can't abide sports, but anyway), how the heck would google know if I am looking for information about a particular team, want to buy tickets to a game, or just want information about the history of the sport, or I just want to buy a football. They don't, so I can't see that anything Google would serve for such a query would be high quality relevant links. Ya know, an old law of computers: Garbage In, Garbage Out. You haven't given them enough information to go on with a one-word query. I don't think I ever use one or two word queries. I usually use three to five words as a starting point.
