Great project idea, but I can't get it to actually work.
I'm encountering a similar error to Toucan with respect to the spacing. If I enter a query "MIT is", Google is returning results that include "is" as part of a larger word. Ex: "MIT Israel divestment". I'd like to query "MIT is " -- including the space -- but it looks like your query strips it out. I think this fix would return much better results.
Also, it looks like even when returning the result "MIT Israel divestment," the returned result is stripping the first few characters. Examples:
ael divest
ael divestment
ael investment
sael stock
aeli stock
samic society
amic studies
overrated
tes

- Raphael 16y agoHe does have a legitimate issue. The suggest algorithm guesses that "MIT" is the start of "mitochondria" or "mitosis".
- cappaert 16y agoI can obviously get it to work with most queries. I was just pointing out that it does seem to strip out letters or return a poor result if the query is part of a larger word. Yes, I'm using "X is"; I used "MIT is" in my comment for greater clarity.
