The ambiguity is what makes it relevant to search.

What does a user mean if they enter [how many cars sold in a year?]

The ambiguity shows that the specific answer is less interesting than showing your working; having the discussion about how to get an answer.

That's more what I was hoping for, thanks :)

I wonder what internal Google has explored along the lines of prompting the user with clarifying questions. Like Google Suggest and Spell Check exhibit the level of intelligence needed I think.
