One area where Google search is terribly broken is porn.

If your search for some specific term "$foo", nearly every result is just 'search site $bar for "$foo"', taking you to the site's search page, regardless of whether $foo is actually found on the site.

What do you mean by the opposite?

The search behavior is the same whether $foo is a popular generic term or something niche.
