Also, more to the point perhaps, why is it that big a deal, the entire first page of search results are related to the term you searched for. If you know the URL you want you would go to it directly anyway, and those results would be ample for someone looking for information on OOo.
Interesting to compare with a Bing search for Microsoft, which (quite correctly) biases the results to sites with microsoft in the domain name. To be fair, a Bing search for Google is similarly successful, although that would be a bit obvious if it wasn't.
Amusingly, given how closely MS guard their trademark on the name "Windows", a search for alternatives to windows is completely dominated by results for replacement windows (ie those things you stick in the wall to look out of).
I would actually prefer that Google had some competition in the search engine market, but unfortunately it doesn't currently look like Bing delivers that.
