Google Auto text

[trini123]

You can get a hint of things people search for by randonly beginning sentences. You can get a lot of insight on things that people search for but they would never come and ask you as the example below. You can also search some things you know people enter in but Google does not auto finish - example "what is the biggest pe" - Google just pretennds it can not complete the sentence. :-)

What iz de point ah dis ched??? Jus tuh show how your search history on Google allows the search engine to automatically help you when doing other searches?:blink

The point is Google is getting too large. This auto text may seem innocent but is a form of mind control. It is controlling what you ask and hence the way you think. For example, if you type "should Google d" nothing comes up. Google has actually filtered out the option to ask "should Google die". Secretly, it is saying this is not a good question and has never been asked but I am 99.99999% sure many people have typed "Should Google die?".

Google is becoming too powerful for a private company. We'll all pay the price later for this. Keep on searchin!

Maybe Google is becoming too large, but the autosearch feature being a form of mind control? Really now? That's just sounding paranoid to me.

It might be of interest as well that in terms of being a large company, there are plenty of larger ones. Even if you narrow it down to the IT industry alone, they still don't quite beat out the likes of IBM and Microsoft.

"example "what is the biggest pe" - Google just pretennds it can not complete the sentence."
I would have thought that Google would have found plenty of hits for things beginning with "pe"...
Have you got Google set up to filter out all nasties?...
There is probably an element of suggesting what you should be searching for as well...(sites with more Google goop dripping off the walls)...
So long as your autotext didn't put up this Thread on it's own, without your knowledge, I would just ignore it...

Your filter settings are probably off or you're most likely using a PeeCee lol

Hmmmm... So the author of this thread was looking to find the biggest pe..... (Might I ask why?) lol and comes on here to complain that Google did not complete the request? I would complain to the person that may have created doubts and the authors's need to compare. lol lol lol ? (juss kiksin lol)
