Reminds me of a feedback I got from a web site we host.  A user was typing
in urls containing keywords for info he was looking for, and bitched that
it wasn't pulling up the info he wanted.

Yes, someday I'll tie Apache's error 404 into a site search engine, but
just because it isn't done already doesn't mean it's broken.
