Yep, this has happened to me quite often. The more obscure the topic the 
more likely it is to happen. What's worse are all the "fake" results 
(e.g. softinformer.com IIRC) where the website has simply strung a 
series of random strings together but the actual content is only 
tangentially related at best. Also bad are those sites that simply 
reproduce content from elsewhere such as Wikipedia or Usenet, resulting 
in lots of duplicate "hits".
