Could it be argued that spelling suggestions are still a search result in and of themselves?

Could it be argued that spelling suggestions are still a search result in and of themselves?
- aisofteng 10y agoNo.
- manojlds 10y agoAnd even if it is, doesn't qualify for "manually modifies the result."
- justinlaster 10y agoIt's specific to that search term, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Google's general functionality. How is it not "manual"? They clearly are able to create result sets crafted by their employees for specific search terms.
- cgriswald 10y agoGoogle's general functionality includes suggestions. Spellcheck, even of more obscure search terms, doesn't require manual intervention. The system could easily determine that people who search for "pancales" follow up that search immediately with "pancakes".
- justinlaster 10y agoDid you miss OP's example? Why would spellcheck give you the same word you just typed in? It's manual intervention. They are clearly able to modify search results based on a rule system.
- justinlaster 10y agoWhy not? It may not be searching the web, but it certainly is still doing a search of possibly related words that you had intended to spell.
