I searched for "Google" on mwmbl, and while the first page of results found many results, including Google Patents, Google Bug Hunters, and a Google Books page on a 2004 book about Anarchism, it did not find Google's home page.
I searched for "Elephant," and I got a Wikipedia page about a specific Elephant statue at Coney Island, a UK elephant charity, and a blog post about Haskell ("the elephant in the room").
It's unfair to poke fun at a very small project that admits that it is far from done yet, but it's gotta figure out a way to crack the "which pages are most likely to be relevant" problem or else it's not going to be useful.
To be honest, I didn’t entirely mean it as a comment on the search quality. But you would expect a search engine to return results about itself, and it was amusing it didn’t!
