This was a book database on a very specialized topic - nowhere close to mass market. Google's results usually showed the fully spelled out title and many results also gave the author's name, another field I needed. That gave me the data that I needed to create a nicely usable web page.

At one point I thought "why not try Amazon - they've got a good site search." But even Amazon did not have as good a success rate for me as Google did.
