Sorry to say it's much harder than you might think. The first time my
son asked for help
building a racing car for Cub Scouts, I did a search on "Soapbox
Derby" in Google.
More than half the first page results were for porn sites.
Odd, I tried that just now and I don't see any porn sites.
Maybe we have a cause/effect mix up here. I am pretty good about not
letting Google store cookies so they give me straight results and
can't cater to my "interests".
Your "Soapbox derby" search was possibly getting results of previous
searches mixed in.
That's unlikely: I don't buy soap or boxes online, I'm not interested
in the Kentucky Derby, and if I wanted to see pornography, I would have
watched the suprabowl.
This is an interesting field of research, so I suggest you apply your
expertise in this area and suggest another reason why cause and effect
were so easily confused.

P.S. The search I mentioned occurred around 1998, so I agree with other
posters whom have suggested that Google has refined its search algorithm.
