I know we've got a fair crowd of web site designers/owners lurking here, so I figured I'd pose this question here. In digging through your referrer logs, what strange/bizarre/perverse search queries have you found that lead people to your site?

I'll start off with the one I just found this afternoon. Someone came across an essay I had posted to my site discussing the Medieval works Iwein and Gawein and the Green Knight. What did they search for?

"gay initiation stories"

good topic. i think i may take the cake on this one. but i'll start off small. i get this search string every single day:

nude russell crowe

and no, i don't have any pictures of mr.crowe, nude or otherwise on my site. it's mostly people searching from outside the US too. the interesting things you learn from apache logs....

my list only shows the most popular 25 out of 36,944 total. I'm guessing every word known to man doesn't add up to 36,944.

interestingly, the 9th most popular 'word' was 2.0 - hmmm

the most popular? download

this is from a rather unique computer hardware/distributed computing/overclocking site.

another one:

"5+jpg+little+boys"

this one kind of scares me.
no idea what this person was looking for, but they didn't find it.

There's a whole website devoted to this topic at Disturbing Search Requests.

It's some of the funniest sh*t I've ever read.

What, do sites like Google tell your site what they searched for?

I don't know how it works. I'm no webmaster. Can anyone explain?

"QTVR Porn" & "Photoshop Beer Effect"
are two of the most strange searches I've had recently. I have neither on my site and I don't know what the hell a 'beer effect' is...

Xeo - my web server generates a daily log which I download and run through a web log analyzer program (Summary)that generates all kind of useful reports such as what searches people did to reach the site, and of course how many hits and what pages are linking to your site.

the disturbing thing isn't that one person was possessed to search for this in google:

elephant testicles

..the disturbing things is that five people have searched for this exact string thus far.

and one for squirrel testicles and one for chipmunk testicles.

why would you search for that? what exactly are they looking for?

there are strange individuals in this world.

in all fairness, i do have those phrases in text on my page. i used them to make jokes about a trip i took to yosemite. but i'd rather someone search for "squirrel pictures" or "yosemite nature pictures" (had a few of these) rather than anything testicle related.

here's one for a service i most certainly don't offer:

contract killer

at least...not anymore.

Truly hilarious.

Read this from weblogs' Disturbing Search Requests:

I like to joke with him about his "unhealthy" worship of unattainable women but who am I kidding? If Katie Holmes showed up at my door crocked to the gills on tequila and asked me to perform lewd and lascivious acts (with her of course) I wouldn't say "sorry sweetie, in your drunken stupor you knocked on the wrong apartment door."
(The original search was for "Rose McGowan getting ****ed" but this commentary bit is much funnier, hee hee.)

I thought I'd been getting away pretty clean, but then I got this hit from a Swedish search engine:

My Little Pony Hate Page

From this, I can only conclude that Swedes have a lot of pent-up frustration, possibly from trying to use the plastic tweezers in their little knives.

Hehehhee, this is a cool thread.

A few years back, i was reading a 2600 and some dude sent a letter in saying he found a site that was a security hole in some major search engine. The result? You saw what people were requesting, all in your web broser! My friend and I spent an hour reading some of the hits, we were laughing our asses off! Though we did get a little freaked out at times.

If I can find the issue, I'll post the link, funny ass **** . If anyone out there knows what I am talking about, feel free to post the link.

if nobody else has any, i'll keep on going

these are from today's logs:

amusement+park+flasher
(i'm number 2 on google!)

nude+underwater+woman+picture

this is the problem with having the word NUDE anywhere on your webpage. that, and my sarcastic picture quotes keep getting taken literally by the search engine. those people looking for amusement park flashers will be very disappointed by my site.

{edit}
hey, look at that. my 500th post has the word nude in it. i feel so proud.

That is Swiss Army knives, and the Swiss are from Switzerland! Swedes are from Sweden, and AFAIK Swedish Army Knives are not very famous!

Probably someone who had been browsing FARK.com. There's a picture that posters there frequently use in their Photoshop contest entries, which is a squirrell prominently displaying his, um, nuts.

And from that site Ralph_J linked to:
"rate me while i f**k my cat"
WTF?

This thread rules. One night I had a few too many to drink and loaded up LimeWire just to laugh historically at the incoming search results. It's quite entertaining.
