You can see what the default search settings are (and modify them) by clicking the "advanced search" option.

In terms of coming up with irrelevant results, that's often a case of using too "loose" a search criteria. Remember that you can often use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, +,-) as well as quotes around phrases to refine your search.
