Google Instant Search? REALLY?! Why is this the result???

Hah! That's really funny!

Everybody getting "weed" is in a green state.

Where are you searching from William?

[danatanseo]

Take a look at the auto-suggest for simply "the best way to" -   "weed" is still in the picture. I was curious if I put in "related searches" what I would get...Apparently there are a lot of fat people with fleas who want to get high, predict the future and ask a girl to homecoming.

Why is this offensive? It's based on an algorithm. It's not Google's fault what the majority of people are searching for within the US.

Come on !  That'snot offensive.  It's based on what people search. Do you need fake suggestions ?

Try searching for:

americans are ...

germans are ...

austrians are ...

Then you will see some offensive suggestions

[eyepaq]

Same from here in Austria.

Same from Germany (just pinged a friend from Germany to see his results).

It's world wide.

[Bryan_Loconto]

Right! This is far from offensive, in fact since majority of people are searching for it, I would be offended if Google hid it.

[RobertFisher]

I sincerely apologize for having offended, I will speak with Sergey as I think its his fault...

Larry.

[RobertFisher]

Well put Bryan,

Certainly doesn't offend me either, but not much does... Just easier to live that way.....

It is funny given that the algo is serving it up you have to wonder, are folks really needing to work on conserving their stash? What about hydroponics? Etc. Heck, maybe I just came up with a new site for affiliates of hydroponics!!!!

Thanks

Yes, searches done from "the plex" are weighted thousands of times over in determining the instant results.

Looks like people in New Zealand also want to conserve weed - of the illegal variety. However when 'searching in NZ only' we are only concerned with how to destroy the everyday weeds from our gardens.

I just read this this week:

http://googlesystem.blogspot.ca/2012/10/google-instant-shows-suggestions-from.html

In the article they say, "_Google Instant suggestions used to only include popular queries. Last year, Google started to show dynamic suggestions _for the last words of your query. Now Google's suggestions seem to include excerpts from web pages."

If this is true then it doesn't mean that lots of people are searching for how to conserve weed but rather, lots of people are writing about it.

[danatanseo]

This just gets better and better.  Hmmmm, I wonder, does the fact that a blogger writing about "conserving weed" make them a "conservative blogger?".......I really have to go search that to see what I get.....

[William.Lau]

Ha, I was joking. Its not offensive but I can only imagine what other searches are showing up with sometimes.

I'm in NYC.

Sorry with late response, Sandy and slowed my internet resources.
