CHX is still right in what they say. The point here is that Google override peoples searches based on some random fuzzy logic, and whatever you've searched before, regardless of whether you are logged in or not.
- dx034 9y agoTo be fair, >90% searching for "furce" probably meant force. For the rest it's one click more.
- userbinator 9y agoI can understand "firce" and "fprce" or even "f9rce" but "furce" is, on a standard QWERTY keyboard, two keys away so more unlikely to be a typo.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoDo Google do spelling correction based on letter locality on the expected user keyboard? Never seen any corrections that would suggest that, often wondered why not.
- sincerely 9y agoThere used to be a service that would, given a query, search eBay for listings that matched it or common misspellings based on nearby keys. I wonder if any of that logic has made its way into modern autocorrect explicitly or if it would be gathered implicitly through studying what users actually correct.
