 * During the 2004 presidential election, results for the phrase "miserable failure" led to George W. Bush's biography, while searches for "waffles" pointed to John Kerry's official website.
 * Back in 1999, a search for "more evil than satan himself" would bring people to the Microsoft web site."

Re-directs

 * [Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages]
 * Reason why a link refers back to that same page (redirect): [Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame]] refers to [Science Museum Oklahoma]], e.g., [:Category:Aviation halls of fame]]


 * To ensure that a redirect will not break if a section title gets altered, or to create a redirect to a point on the page other than a section heading, create an explicit target anchor in the page, e.g. by using the anchor template. The anchor text will not be visible (unless the visible anchor template is used), but it will serve as a permanent marker of that place on the page. Editors should generally not remove or alter such anchors without checking all incoming links and redirects.


 * For example, in the [Google search]] article, the text   is placed at the point where Google Calculator is described. The title [Google Calculator]] can then be redirected to [Google search#Calculator]].


 * e.g., [Mel Ott Award]] uses: #redirect [Mel Ott#melottaward]]R to anchor
 * This takes you to the first appearance of the words "melottaward" in the section
