I would prefer the web to be better classified and less "guessing". For my queries google has been guessing wrong most of the time and putting results of things i didnt search for in the top results page.

With the bangs and the zero-click duck aproaches what I think is a really good solution, for 'fabric' you get : http://duckduckgo.com/?q=fabric Which has in the zero click info all the meanings (including the python library), and if you would want python related results just do: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=python+fabric And it works beautifully...

I guess is a matter of how you are used to search

I agree, when I search for "fabric" I want to see the same results (more or less) on whichever computer I'm on - logged in to Google or not.

If I want information on the fabric python library I just search for "python fabric" - works on DuckDuckGo as noted above and also works just fine on Google.

"I want to see the same results (more or less) on whichever computer I'm on"

Even if only to stay aware of where your sites (and those of clients) are going to be positioned when customers search for them.
