I would agree with you if there was a button I could click to turn it off. Their algorithms aren't infallible by any means. Plus, ultimately they are a business and trying to sell, so they are going to eventually skew results towards things they think I may be willing to buy, rather than things I want to know. I think G is more susceptible than MS, but only because MS does make a living selling other stuff.
I'm not saying it's evil or wrong, just that if my first results don't appeal to me, a simple measure that might work for me would be to turn the filter off. Anyway, they could learn more about me if they let me do that.

- dhimes 15y agoGreat! Put a button on the search page. Will "pws=0" allow the engine to "learn" from my corrections? I'm pretty sure incognito won't. But allowing me to "correct" the personalization might be useful to you.
