I don't think search is as simple as grepping a ton of files. Search Google for "movie where people can't have babies" and the #1 result is Children of Men. I think that's one area where Google pulls ahead of its competition is accurate results to vague queries like that and I think you need a lot of collected data from searches to provide that.

FYI: For that exact query, DDG shows Children of Men as the top two results.
For me it's #6. Another movie called Baby Mama is #1.

Why would it be different for two different people if there isn't any tracking going on?
Not saying it is here but it could be dependent on your country.
CoM is #3 for me with region set to UK.
I get Baby Mama as #1 as well, but at least, from the movie synopsis, it doesn't appeat to be an irrelevant result.
My region is set to Denmark.

Third here.
Baby Mama is first for me too.
For the record anyone who hasn't seen Children of Men, do yourself favour and find it. One of the greatest and most underrated films of the last decade.
Edit: Oops turns out its 11 years old. Better make that the last two decades then. I'm gettin old
