But that would mean Google's actually taken the time to manually adjust their yellow pages related suggested search results rather than relying on an algorithm that simply serves up what their software guesses people are looking for based on previous searches. @kenc, that’s one way to look at it.

Now if I could just get the darn ads to stop covering up the search field... When I can’t easily find a Strib article with their search, I enter the author’s name and have almost always found the article I’m looking for.

On multiple occasions I've had a print version of the paper right in front of me but no matter what combination of words or quotes lifted directly from the article will return the article in the search results. And it's not because the articles aren't online... because eventually I'll find the articles online some other way... I don't bother using the StarTribune search page anymore.
