Yep. Finally got around to trying it in my laptop and what I see is consistent with NC’s posts.

That said, it’s odd that people seem to be going out of their way to highlight google. DuckDuckGo has Trump Russia collusion as a suggested search, while Google does not. Is Duck anti-conservative now too?

Remind me again how google doesn’t auto fill Hillary Clinton em to Hillary Clinton emails again. Please. When I have it in multiple screen shots that I’ve shown TO YOU

This is because you've already searched "Hillary Clinton Email", otherwise it wouldn't have come up. I just did a test and typed "Hillary Clinton em" and email was not a suggested search, then I typed "Hillary Clinton Email" and searched, and then went back and typed "Hillary Clinton em" and "Hillary Clinton Email" was suggested.

Hillary em pulls up email scandal as the 4th suggested result in google for me.

I got

Emails Ivanka
Email scandal

In that order

Nah, try the search string he used. He went with "Hillary em" rather than "Hillary Clinton em". I'll bet you'll get his results.

I dropped Clinton from the search. I have a screenshot. I’m just too lazy to post it. But whatever.

No, you really don't even though it's been explained to you at least twice.

This is really fricked up. I tried several famous people and politicians plus e and em. All came up with email in either the first or second suggestion. Crazy.

I get it, but when was the last time you went to search something and were waiting for google to randomly direct your search based on auto-complete after a letter? Do people actually do that?

A suggestion that pops up will sometimes make me change what I was looking for to get an update on something else.

No. If you are searching for something, you at least have an idea of what you're looking for. This thread is

Looks like you just typed "e" in Google and typed "em" for everything else. Type "Hillary Clinton em" and see what happens.

Are there really 11 pages of people this clueless?

Google knows the phrase Hilary Clinton emails is a loaded term and will have different interps.

Depending on your political leaning, you will help them analyze what is considered relevant.

Google learns what kind of user you are by NOT auto completing it.


No wonder they make so much money when people don't even get the basics of how they index.

This. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

Google auto-complete is basically telling you what it THINKS you will be searching for.

That being said, if you actually do the Google search for "hillary Clinton email scandal" the results are clearly filtered and limited. THAT is where the issue should lie, not with the auto-complete suggestions.

Are you retarded?

The OP says: "More evidence of Google filtering search results"

He has posted evidence of this. I've tested and see it happening on both a pc and mobile device.

Pointing out an instance where this doesn't happen doesn't discredit the OP's statement...at all. You need a simple lesson on logic.

I hadn't even noticed that in your examples, when you increase specificity
from "Hillary Clinton e" to "Hillary Clinton em",
the autofill search suggestion "emails" does not climb.

Instead it DROPS DOWN from 2nd to 3rd.

That is effing hilarious.
