Working in a library, we need to perform test searches in the catalog on a regular basis. I usually search for "manga" because it brings up a variety of results - books on manga, journals, actual manga, authors named Manga, books on Hokusai, books on Manga Reva (the Forgotten Islands, apparently), at least one honors paper, and something I just found I'm going to have to go examine: Manga High : literacy, identity, and coming of age in an urban high school.

My other generic search is "manatee", which I picked up from a co-worker. Said co-worker also searches for "Cat Island" because it *should* bring up stuff about an island named Cat Island if proximity matters in the search algorithm, and lots of stuff about cats and lots of stuff about islands otherwise.
