Any thing it seems that every thing but what you search for comes up. Is there another search engine that can be used? MS was the same way but now you get more to the answer you are looking for quicker. Is this posible or is it too costly?
I was looking for an Outlook 2000 question and after a few searches I jumped to MS site and found three ways to do what I was looking for. But I know that the same thing was posted a while back here.

Many folks new to computing will NOT trawl through pages and pages of Q&A in the hope of finding what they need. They will always use the search engine. If the search engine does not display an appropriate solution, or a link to a solution they are unlikely to come back.

Over the years I've seen some really useful (as the Fat Controller once said), articles and many brilliant Q&A's in TechRepublic and TechProGuild.

If these superb pieces of work are not seen by folks searching the site they will rate the site on the basis of the results of the search and how appropriate they are in relation to the search terms entered.

This was discussed elsewhere, but is a new improved professional search engine in the offing? Otherwise, visitors will continue to rate the site on the basis of the search results rather than the site's content.
