This search service notices that you are looking at a specific page. If you stay away from the search result page long enough (more than 1 minute), it will remember those results. The next time you do the same search it will put those results on top. This stored behaviour is shared with other users. Thus everybody together will give the best results. And indeed some of the popular searches do give good results.

The service seems to work pretty good. Now they have to build up a database of behaviour. It reminds me a bit of how Ask Jeeves has implemented its behaviour database. If you are looking for the most popular sites, this seems to be a good service.
