<p>Results for letters L, P &amp; T did not have the letters in thier URL, but they were quite prominent in the page titles. When it comes to numbers, &#8211; 5, 6, 7 &amp; 9 were not present in the URL!.</p>
<p>Wondering what algorithm is used to rank these pages!</p>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/arjunprabhu/etc/Google_Results_Thumb.jpg" style="border: 2px solid #006600; margin: 2px" /><br />
<small>Click on the above image to see the full screen shot</small></a></p>
<p>Right in between the search results, there is a section which reads &#8230;<br />
<em>&#8216;See results for: The island movie&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Has anyone else seen this sort of results?</p>
