Is this really a search engine problem or a problem of metadata? Perhaps a problem of people not understanding how to search or the Boolean constructs required? I'm not sure, but I do try to find specific terms that will narrow my results to a usable subset. If site designers better described the information on their page, if they thought about the information they want to convey, it would seem like we'd be most of the way toward what you are looking for, correct? As for delisearch, everyone knows the only source is chowhound.com Unchain the librarians!
