Thanks for your good post.
I actually think it's reassuring that there will always be a creative and unexpected title that titillates the brain in a way that search engine automation algorithm will never equate. By the way, that why most of the CMS systems allow for an alias used in SEO-type descriptors like search engine friendly URLs or meta titles.
If we leave search engines to choose for us the most creative, interesting, and talented content creators, we are in deep trouble I think. Until then, you can keep surfing randomly once-in-a-while and finding out how far Google is from guessing what's most interesting on any subject. Google and other search engine always tend to return lowest common denominator results on any subject, rather than a new creative and rare perspective on that same subject. It's the nature of automation for the masses.
Search automation such as an autocomplete is useful nevertheless. I also agree it can be vastly improved. Autocompletes are there to help you improve the quality of how you formulate your query, help you find content faster, and help you find related, misspelled, or otherwise relevant content. Here is a paper I wrote on advanced autocomplete features of which most have yet to be implemented by Google for instance: http://www.exorbyte.com/index.php/White-Papers/ajax-incremental-search-interfaces.html http://www.exorbyte.com/index.php/White-Papers/ajax-incremen...
