There's no stalling, it's completely disabled and will not suggest anything until you type the entire word.

So? How does that have anything to do with justifing blocking BitTorrent terms? If I type "install bitt[orrent]" or "install ut[orrent]", I get no suggestions as it is clearly blocked.
- citricsquid 16y agoI would guess people are searching "bittorrent [copyright material]" and someone has had their lawyers shout at google for it, because it could be seen as prompting users into pirating. Like "torrent li[nkin park]" might have got them in trouble because before the person was just searching "torrent li[nux]" so now a user who wants a legit torrent for linux is being told oh hey you can pirate linkin park albums too! (I don't agree that this is right, but it seems the sensible explanation to me)

- Semiapies 16y agoIt's rather obviously not "completely disabled" if I can type "bittorrent" and then get auto-suggestions.
- Sephr 16y agoBy completely, I mean there's no suggestions whatsoever, and I said "until you type the entire word".
- njharman 16y agoYou don't get to redefine the definition of "completely" just to make your argument sound better.
- Sephr 16y agoSuggestions are completely disabled while typing the blocked words. If I said partially, that would imply that suggestions are still given while typing the blocked words, excluding the blocked word itself.
