Tedster, there's no universal search results.

Maybe I wasn't clear. My Acme page has ranked #4 to #7 or so for the past 5 years for a search on the word "Acme." It jumped to the #2 spot over the weekend, and I got a bump in traffic.

It wasn't just a bump from people doing a search for "Acme," but also the models of widgets made by Acme. I was getting about 1,000-1,200 additional page views each day on Saturday on Sunday for the Acme pages, so I assume my rankings for "Acme model 123" and and other models also rose.

The Google decided for whatever reason that I belonged where I was before, and traffic for the Acme page and Acme models pages is back to normal.
