Does Amazon know what I am looking for more than the search phrase that I just typed in? Perhaps… but perhaps not so much. I was recently searching around Amazon for a few separate classes of items.

So I was doing some research on MySQL database security and wanted to do a quick search for two runtime configuration parameters. I did a search for –secure-auth and –old-passwords on google.
