look for something specific... put keywords that should give you the page you are looking for.

I think this is a problem Google is wrestling with right now. If you go to Yahoo and search on a three word phrase, the results give you the answer directly. I will admit that Yahoo does not handle scraper sites all that well and these sites can, and do, get to the top.

On the other hand, Google will show something that is related to the query, but not really what you are looking for - more general than the specific information you're looking for. My reaction is - "that's clean information, but not helpful to me because I am really looking for something else." By the time you find the right information on Google, you're staring at page 1 on Yahoo.

They're battling and there are casualties, but they've still got a way to go... it's just not right yet.
