Just tested this and the article is on point, at least about "Hillary Clinton cri" search autocompletes. I took some screenshots for proof: http://imgur.com/R2

If we can't trust Google, who can we trust?
Bing?
I don't want to live in that world.

- burkaman 10y agoTry any other name. Google will not autocomplete "____ cri" to criminal, regardless of the name. The closest I could get was "Adam Lanza criminal minds".
- ccvannorman 10y agohmm.. I guess the waters are a bit more murky than I originally thought -- it looks like plain whitewashing on the face of it. Still don't like the idea that Google is no longer showing me the most relevant results, but instead the most appropriate results. Clearly, "criminal" was the desired term. Why is Google trying to push me away from it? (in this case and I assume many others)
- dandelion_lover 10y agoIt's called "filter bubble", see http://dontbubble.us http://dontbubble.us
- Torgo 10y agoThey filter lots of stuff in their autocomplete, people have observed for years that "embarrassing" questions work for a while, then disappear. You used to be able to measure how many people "wondered" if a particular celebrity was gay, e.g. "$CELEBRITY g"...[autocompletes to gay, because a lot of people typed it] because of autocompletion, that's now vanished. It's not got to do with the bubble.
