Overly literal search engines reduce usability in that they're unable to handle typos, plurals, hyphens, and other variants of the query terms. Such search engines are particularly difficult for elderly users, but they hurt everybody.

A related problem is when search engines prioritize results purely on the basis of how many query terms they contain, rather than on each document's importance. Much better if your search engine calls out "best bets" at the top of the list -- especially for important queries, such as the names of your products.

I have been doing web design for seven years now. My first professional web project was johnatanasoff.com. This site was launched 2003 when I started working at M3 Communications Group Inc. Since then I have made about 100 designs of web sites, among which: mobilebulgaria.com, dotbulgaria.com, novinite.com, darikradio.bg, m3bg.com. All these you can see here.
