Rick Skrenta wrote a great little tool that pulls back what people were searching for online using AOL. As he pointed out, when AOL first accidentally released this data there was a huge fuss. There are some really disturbing searches that people do...
My favorite set of searches from a user session (didn't want to post the really salacious ones):
>>>

| disney desktops |
| jamicia |
| npic state.gov |
| passport photo |

Look how many different ways this person is looking for a photo passport...makes one think: search still has a ways to go. Maybe Yahoo! Answers for the web and our Answers not Links philosophy for mobile is the way to go after all.
