Try searching for CSS word wrap:
http://docs.webplatform.org/w/index.php?search=css+word-wrap&title=Special%3ASearch

The page text matches seem to be hundreds of matches for "CSS", which aren't useful and are distracting from the main results.

If someone was really searching for just CSS itself, then the best result would be an intro to CSS, and not those hundreds of pages. And in the case that someone is not, then those results are not useful.

I don't know exactly what algorithm I'd suggest for when to surface those results, but I think the current one can be improved.
