Just remember first and foremost that you need to know what exactly you're looking for.
Otherwise, it might mislead you to certain information which is far from what you're searching.
In order to get the right answer, you have to ask the right question.

I'm hoping to see some improvements on google. Although most of us already rely on it's capabilities, a room for improvement is still best especially in this age of cloud technology. I'm pretty sure google is on it's toes now that a new improve microsoft search engine "bing" is out also. Well, that's competition for ya.

What ever prompted you to even post such a thing? It was a different person, a beer maker. A middle name would have helped - but not the post . . . stupid.

But there are hundreds of people who share exactly the same name. How is Google supposed to know which one you are looking for? PageRank favors the person with the greatest online presence who has collected the most inbound links from reputable sources. I'm #1 in Google for my name because I've worked hard to get there. But I'll be the first to admit that there are plenty of other Josh Fraser's who probably deserve it more -- or at least are more successful or famous than myself. You can improve relevancy by adding in other details like occupation and location, but even then, you have no guarantee of having a truly unique key.

I disagee, names are great primary keys.
If I know the name I will first search for the name.
If I don't find what I'm looking for neer the top of the search results, I then search for the name and another key word or phrase.

There are probably at least 5 thousand Micheal Jacksons in the world.

personally don't think google is the right source for this content anyway anymore
most people learned about this news through informal sources (word of mouth, twitter, facebook)
blending news and these informal sources is the key http://tweetnews.me for learning about mj with authority at the speed of social networking

Ha ha ha .. Great post. I think the biggest breakthrough in the search technology will happen when the search engine can understand the mindset of the users and retrieve results based on it. In my opinion, real-time search engines do a better job in this dimension. For example, if you search for Michael Jackson in http://www.boilingpage.com, the most recently popular pages will be retrieved which will obviously be the ones about the musician MJ. I found this post in http://www.boilingpage.com which was shown in their home page, apparently means people are talking about this post.

The British Michael Jackson was probably more influential than the singer that passed away recently. He taught millions of beer drinkers to enjoy the world's most interesting beverage. And he has inspired thousands of brewers to open their own brewery.

This is why companies like Tribune Media make $$ with unique ID's. There's a white comedian named Bob Marley, statues called Madonna, etc. An additional layer of info in the algorithm, specifically around 'productized' names is necessary.
