OT - Search engine question

One main reason is that the actual name of the airport is "Iowa City
Municipal Airport". Of course, you have to use the phrase "Iowa City
Muni Airport" to get the right hit. If you don't use the quotes to make
a phrase, you basically get various combinations of the individual words.

With Yahoo, that seems to be what's happening even if you do use quotes. The
Eastern Iowa Airport site doesn't contain the phrase "iowa city" anywhere, even
in the source. In fact, it doesn't contain the word "city" at all. In the old
days, using the plus sign immediately before a word would block any page that
did not contain that word. It seems that this is not true with Yahoo.
