Eh. I entered ‘Are there alien intelligences secretly watching us?’ wanting to see how many woo-woo citations I’d get. Of the top 5 results one was off-topic completely, three were science-oriented hits, and only one (Alien Abductions and UFO Sightings 5-eBook Bundle) was garbage.
But the next 5 results were not particularly edifying (although one’s ‘alien intelligence’ was about chimps!).

>woo-woo citations
For now, they have included only 100,000 books in their corpus. They probably selected the books on the basis of the publishers (academic publisher). But, as database grows, I don’t think there is a way to avoid a woo-woo citation—unless we get some way of manually blacklisting or excluding junk literature.
