Google Searching and Auto-Complete

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: Internet

Google search auto complete never ceases to amaze me on the way it attempts to finish your query and show the most popular searches including your original keywords.

would you want toTake the “Would you want to” example, when searching just to see what completes, you get some normal and popular questions with my favorite being the controversial would you want to be cloned?

whydidyou

When doing a search for “why did you” it gets a bit stranger, someone actual searched for “need to calculate leaf surface area….etc” which is unusual I think to be prominant.

To also find two queries about “being black” is even stranger I thought, as someone would pose that as a question on Google?

Leveraging Google auto-complete you can see what some of the most popular search terms are for when you start typing, and sometimes you can find that people search for the strangest stuff.

    That’s the best part of using Google search engine. Also, if you plan to get more organic traffic, you can target those query result and write a blog post for that, but make sure you write relevant topic in your blog. :)

    I got a few funky apache errors when trying to visit your blog, they went a way after a 3rd retry, but something you might want to investigate.

    I think Google finishes it by showing what most popular search terms were including your keywords.

    Hey dragonblogger,

    This is the magic of google, always guessing and finding the correct matches, but now bing has something similar.

    I will have to check out bing more, I don’t use it that often, but I like it when I do.

    Yeah, those suggestions are sometimes helpful, but they are also great for a comic gem once and a while! Maybe it is just me, but a lot of searches have drugs/porn high in the suggestions when you are just looking for something normal.

    I agree many are comical, or scary when you realize that is what most people are searching.
