I got a hit on my site today from this as the search term. I can't
even think of anything that might have been intended, unless it was
"baby dish realignment in east grinstead"

Perhaps it's Feng Phooey: the baby will have bad vibes and cry unless
it's pointing towards Beijing?

I'm beginning to think that someone from Luxembourg in this ng is just
taking the p*ss ...

Probably just a cut-and-paste error; perhaps "baby" was already in the
text field from a previous search.

A more interesting question is why your page is the first result for
that query, but is only second if you take out the word "baby"...

There used to be a search engine where you could see what other people
were searching for at the time. I would search for things like
"trepanning in the republican party" in the hope that other people
would see it.

Actually, that IS more to the point. IME, the behaviour of search
engines can be very peculiar.

Things go on predictably enough for weeks at a time, and then suddenly
for no apparent reason they seem to have an epileptic fit, and start
giving anomalous results. When this happens, I get people searching
for satellite alignment pages landing on the terrestrial page, and
vice versa, my rankings slip, searches by others find my site on page
1, but when I repeat the search to check what's going on, my pages are
way down the rankings or not even there at all, etc, etc. For a
while, nothing seems to make any sense at all. Then things settle
down again, my rankings build up over succeeding days and weeks, 'til
the next brainstorm.

Overall, regardless of what is actually happening at any given time to
my rankings which, though extremely variable, are pretty good for such
a small site, the hit rate is on the increase. Several months this
year have been records, and last month was easily the best yet.

Baby alignment? Perhaps you have inadvertently discovered a new field
for your programming talents - predicting the likelihood of a breach
birth.
