It is pretty ridiculous in the form presented. It certainly doesn't scale. Having said that, there are sometimes sensible options around changing what most people search for.
Marriage is an obvious example. But even if you are just applying for a job, if you use a different version if your name, the search results can be very different. Compare the results for "will critchlow" and "william critchlow".

Also roughly age, previous jobs, any information listed on their resume. By itself I agree its meaningless, but when combined with the other pieces of information the potential employer has access to it is very revealing.
