Bug: The majority of the search results have nothing to do with the keywords.

Steps:
1. At most, 3 results will match the keywords.
2. The rest is very random stuff.
3.

I have noticed this too. Sadly, the search feature is implemented using 
Google's own GData API module. I don't know why it'd give bad results, other 
than Google wanting to make third-party tools using the API purposefully worse 
then their own...

In any case, I doubt there is any way to fix this, except actually doing a 
search simulating a web browser, through the web interface, which is quite 
hacky.
