I was poking around on Google today and noticed something pretty interesting. Google seems to go pretty wide across a document to try and find matches. For example look at this serp [aardvark mastodon zosterops] (http://www.google.com/search?q=aardvark+mastodon+zosterops) I'm not sure what those files are used for or why they are available on a public webserver, but I find it pretty interesting that google will search that far across a very lengthy document to find a match.
For very specific searches this would be a favorable behavior, however for the vast majority I searches I'm not sure this is that useful.
