Without those 2 things happening first, I can't see where their *behavior* tells them much of anything especially as related to the ordering of the results.
"Armies" of searchers, alive or automated, clicking on results, following some and bouncing on others. Hmmmm... Click fraud round 2.

Well, they know something about the searchers who use gmail or the toolbar, as they have tracked past behavior and they do have the search terms to determine the purpose of the search.
Armies clicking would probably be detectable, and would not mimi normal search behavior, plus could create a tremendous bounce rate factor that would not help the site.
