- MattBearman 15y agoIt's only worse when they use Chrome's omninbar to Google 'Google', then Google 'Google' on Google to get to Google
- eftpotrm 15y agoI remember once seeing a list of top X popular searches which included the term 'www.hotmail.com'. While I've no doubt it'd work, the level of understanding necessary to even attempt it is somewhat scary.
- colanderman 15y agoUm, I consider myself a native of computer-land and do this all the time. People accidentally type stuff in the wrong place. That doesn't mean they're cretins.
- uxp 15y agoMy father's computer uses msn.com as the homepage, which automatically grabs the focus and puts in in the search field of MSN. I'd guess that 90% of his queries on MSN are w.example.com, where the first "W"s are in the address bar where he placed his cursor, and then the actual input is queried to Bing.
- eftpotrm 15y agoOK, perhaps I misworded it, but... it wasn't that it was happening but that it was happening regularly enough to get into the top 10 queries - that strongly implies that it's deliberate.
- __mark 15y agoGetting to Facebook is a four step google search: Go to google.com Enter w w w . F a c e b o o k . c o m press enter Click first result. Log in. Or better yet: Start browser, search in search box for google.com then go on to search for your website.
