ehe ...that's *exactly* point i was trying to make, in case you missed it. 
Starting with the most likely, but not relevant query (fedora+help) to the least 
likely but most relevant query (community+assistance+fedora), to match an actual 
post in our archives.

To be more explicit, I am more likely to use:

http://www.google.com/search?q=fedora+help+with+wireless
(which does *not* show any posts from the list, although it should)

  ... than use ...

http://www.google.com/search?q=fedora+community+assistance+with+wireless
(which *does* show up posts from the list, but is the least likely to occur)

I didn't get to vote ! ...naa, actually, i wasn't part of the 'community' at 
that time. So, yeah, thanks, i'll live with it, till the next round of voting. :)
