Not to dispute your point Paul, which I am not qualified to do anyway,
but context and user behavior should be taken into account when
evaluating any software. When I changed your query from searching an
exact string using quotes to a group of keywords, and removing the "City
of Aurora - " part of the query (after all, why would a user enter that
when they're already on the COA website?), the correct page was #1 in
the results. E.g.:
http://url123.com/dmna5
Of course your query should have worked just fine, but Zoom isn't quite
so bad as your demo might lead one to believe.
