Hmm... is this a common scenario though? I guess it seems that
'interaction' is too vague a search term to begin with, and rarely are
searches based entirely off of just titles. Wouldn't any modern search
engine give you a leg up on this list by letting you search for
_documents_ containing, e.g. both the terms 'computer' and
'interaction'?

What I find useful is Google's presentation of cached content (the one
you get to by clicking a search result's 'Cached' link instead of the
main link presented) because it highlights in a different color each
word from your search. It gives you an easy way to quickly and
visually scan a document searching for relevant content. I just scroll
down the page looking for concentrations of pretty colors! ;-)
