Recently I was bored and decided to search on amazon if it was possible to order a large idiot. Surprised enough, amazon did give me results for the book "the idiot" (large print) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (I have never read anything made by Dostoyevsky, but now I am curious). So maybe I am going to read in the near future something I've never heard about and came by random search. What are your similar stories?

For me, this usually happens when I'm looking for a particular book or doing research for one of my YouTube videos.
Case in point: Marginalia Search
I was making a video recently about Google alternatives and this one came up. It's weird and has an oddly specific use case: it's great at finding vintage websites, and this can be very useful if you have to repair something that is very old. (Or just need a whole different set of results for some reason, which is easy to achieve when your index is non-commercial.)

LaTeX still surprises me sometimes but then I quickly realize.
Same with rust you gotta put docs/lang or you get a wiki or forums which are about something else.
