Peter Morville has been putting search examples into a flickr collection 
for an upcoming book he's writing:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/morville/collections/72157603785835882/ and 
http://www.findability.org/archives/000194.php

There are some great examples of both simple and complex search

Best,
