Default Tracking Bing Keyword Hits

When Bing was first released, I would get hits from Bing and they looked like I assumed; you could see the keyword of the search from the link that took you to the site.

Now, it seems they're all like this regardless:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=search

Anyone else noticing the same thing? Could it be Bing that did this, or possibly Hittail that needs to modify something to accurately track the link?

Edit: I just noticed that the keyword is actually "search". Waitaminute, that can't be right.

That keyword nearly has 3.5Billion competitors in the rankings, plus I've never targeted for it at all (nor would I). So I guess I'm just wondering how someone would find their way to my site by using a keyword like that.

If I manually try it, my site doesn't come up.

Don't the keywords show up in Analytics? And I have gotten some very strange hits from Bing. I had someone randomly end up on my site from searching an image, I do the same search and the picture in question was way way down the page.
