If you expect a search to *only* show you relevant items, you need to travel back in time a few years.

Agnostic is not the point, accurate is. I get that most search engines have some way of shifting results based on location and the like, but that's a watermelon verses grape comparison. When I search for Best Buy on google, I get the closest Best Buy returned. Yea, that would be a different Best Buy location than what is returned for someone is Boston. But that's a very different situation than searching for Royal Canin (a brand of pet food) and pulling back Science Diet (a different brand of pet food).
