I find that people might search for something for the purpose of generating a result and then gather information to eventually perform a "more correct" search. An examples might be when we search for an error message to later learn that this is triggered by a problem in a package that we are not familiar with. You were searching for an error in YOUR package. Re-factored content might make the leap to merge that issue with the other package in your results. New collections of existing information are also quite useful. An example of that would be the "List of Acquisition" pages for both Yahoo! and Google on Wikipedia. With an ability to "Mash-Up" search data users could contribute back to the world and make context searching better for us all.
