Here are results similar to these" whenever I type in a very long-tail semi-obscure query. it makes you guys look bad. Just display all the results you find, even the ones that aren't super relevant.

Tip for you: Google thinks that for every one of you, there are 10x as many folks who do exactly the opposite - and want those results.

For most of them there is no "try again", they simply give up and blame Google (and maybe try the query in Bing/Yahoo).
