http://www.cuil.com/search?q=Roger+Clarke+Australia
delivers 11 hits on the first page, all of which are this RC.
But of the 5 photos of 4 different Roger Clarkes, only 1 is me.

And the following few pages each have the same problem.

An arguably bigger weakness is that there's very little selectivity 
in the sequence of hits.

Google does a lot better on total hits, and a little better on 
putting useful hits earlier.

Zoominfo does rather better with the same search query:

I wonder what Linda and Jan thinks of theirs  (:-)}
