Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 Unfortunately, this isn't (just) a problem with specific terms/keywords,
 it's a symptom of the broader lack of content strategy across wp.org
 sites, the messy overlap between docs and the codex (and the myriad issues
 with both), and the sheer volume of low quality / dead-end pages in the
 forums.

 It's still essentially pot-luck which page ranks for which term, and all
 we can do at the moment is improve small things across the board and hope
 that Google is smart enough to get it wrong less often.

 We've tickets and progress gradually chipping away at some of this, but,
 realistically, we're never going to get to a point where we can tackle
 this at a keyword level. At least not within the next 5 years or so, at
 current pace and resourcing. :(
