A New Kind of Duplicate Content - GoogleBot Random Form Crawl
Michael VanDeMar highlights how a website lost an important page to duplication across a new not so important page, which was added to the Google index by Google filling out forms.
If you have limited PageRank and a Google accessible form or search box you may want to block them from indexing output URLs via a robots noindex meta tag or your robots.txt file.

Hey Aaron. :)
Just to clarify, the site that lost the ranking page to the poorer ranking dupe wasn't a client of mine. I saw it happen to my site and went to see if it was a fluke or a pattern, and I found his site as well.
Will update it. Sorry on the Michael.
But maybe he will read your post and hire you ;)
Do duplicate keyword lists within a same domain count against you?
