If I committed murder and wanted to hide the body, I would hide it on Page 2 of the search results. No one goes there.
After all, if the first x results are not what you were looking for, how likely is it that the next x results will provide a match?
- azangru 7y agoThat's totally fair if the user doesn't know what they are searching for (e.g. if the only search criterion is Boris Johnson); but if they already know that there is a body; if they have already heard about the model (or the bus), how likely are they to be put off the scent by irrelevant search results?
- pflenker 7y agoIf you are already convinced that something is going on, then this will not throw you off, no. But if you are indifferent to the matter, then you will most likely quickly give up, thinking that it can't be that important if it's not in the top search results.
- jmkni 7y agoThere is no page 2 anymore, though. My page 2 might be your page 1, and vice versa, based on how we've been profiled by the search engine, our location, browser, etc etc
