[consulting] Semantic Benefit of Drupal Gibberish When Searching Web

[Matt Chapman]

Google used to be my sole method of searching d.o, but it has gotten 
much better since Apache Solr was added.

But you're right in your observation; precision is the side-benefit of 
obscurity in nomenclature.

It turns out node import module is the third google result for the word 
'node', and the d.o handbook page on taxonomy is the second google 
result for that word.
