&#62; Some flawed results from Google<p>&#62; When searching for the word “Air” in Google there are so many results that could have come up in the SERPs: Adobe Air software, Nike Air trainers, the French Band, Apple Air laptop, any Airline, a science page on the make-up of our atmosphere.<p>&#62; But no. In second place is the Wikipedia page, not for any of the above, but a disambiguation page for the term “Air”.<p>What's wrong with this? Surely when somebody searches for "air" it's of more use to find encyclopedic information about many things air can refer to, than one or another company site?<p>If user wants Adobe Air or Nike Air, she would include it in keywords.
