I'm going to take your question at face value, and assume you really don't understand why this happened (most people probably wouldn't).

Most search engines take the words you enter and look for any site that contains ANY of the words -- not all of the words. You can match only sites that contain ALL of the words if you proceed each word with a '+'. So if you go back and enter:

+Euphonium +Fingering +Chart

you'll get markedly different results.

Of course you can also put phrases in quotes:

+Euphonium +"Fingering Chart"

or, when different terms might be used you can leave off the '+' on the term and enter multiple different terms. This:

Euphonium Baritone "Tenor horn" +"Fingering Chart"

will match all websites that contain "Fingering Chart", whether they are for euphs, trumpets, or bassoons, but will put those that have Euphonium, Baritone, or "Tenor Horn" first in the list.

I hope that helps!
