Teoma Aims To Kill Google

If I type in my last name in google, the first result on page one is my page on Elfwood. I like that.
On teoma, I used to get lesbian porn as a first resulst, now I get a listing of cheap Rio hotels, with a link to elfwood somewhere down there...Guess wich search engine is the Big Big Winner in my little subjective test.
As far as I can tell, teoma breaks down my name into separate words it uses in its search, while google first gives results for the whole word and THEN list resulst for broken down versions of my name, the lesbian porn and hotels are still listed by google, but ranked much lower, as they should be.
You can't take the sky from me...
I did a search on RM101's real name. Teoma returns 45 results. Google returns 173 results.
Therefore, Google is clearly the superior search engine, since it returns far more important results. :)
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
Does any one know two words that when searched for in google will yield one result. I've tried for hours and can't get it to yield one result.
