Tough one. blekko has a WoW slashtag, but it doesn't auto-boost for that query. You can invoke it by hand, though, how do you like this result?

Less of the low quality sites, but I would expect one of these URLs to be on the first page:

1) http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2806-Mists-of-Pandaria-B...

2) http://www.wowhead.com/news=204099/mists-of-pandarias-first-...

3) http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/05/25/mists-of-pandaria-new-wrat...

It does better (at least as far as the first result or two go) when you don't have to guess the acronym though:

1) https://blekko.com/ws/tier+14+sets+%2B%2Fwow

2) https://blekko.com/ws/challenge+mode+sets+%2B%2Fwow

For more standard searches it is okay, but DDG/Bing and Google are better. In these results I especially like potstuck and fabien potencier posts.

2) https://blekko.com/ws/php+dependency+injection+container+exa...

3) https://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&sclient=psy-a...

It is nice to see alternatives developing though, should the day ever come that I want to leave Google behind!
