How did this happen...exactly?

Similarsites.com + Google CSE, user generated content discovery.
Dear Ask MeFi,
I ran into what I feel is a beautiful anomoly while building a Google CSE!
I based my CSE on only one URL (and one only): www.similarsites.com.
When I then inputted "www.cnx.org" into my newly finished frankenstein (again- based on only one URL: similarsites.com),
I received just as useful and relevant results from the Google CSE as I did when I manualy entered "www.cnx.org" into the physical www.similarsites.com.
See for yourself!
Similarsites query:
http://www.similarsites.com/site/cnx.org
brkn lnk back-up : http://goo.gl/dWQQI
What...exactly...happened here :)
Are the two results not equally accessing www.similarsites.com technology?
I believe they are!
How then did the interaction of the two programs give me even more results and with just as useful output? See the "relevancy" percentages quoted by the final output of each of the two spouses.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you.
Sincerely,

This post was deleted for the following reason: I'm not totally sure what's going on here, but it's not in language AskMe folks seem to understand and seems vaguely.... unclear. Feel free to repost next week if there is a solid question people can answer that doesn't include links to your own stuff. -- jessamyn
