Title: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: remotemass on May 15, 2015, 06:00:26 PM Interesting, to get Google to auto-complete with:
The times 03/jan/2009 chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks You only need to type "The Times 0". Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: NeuroticFish on May 15, 2015, 06:05:40 PM I tried this for fun. The result is disappointing for you. The auto-complete gave me
The Times 0f India (yes with zero, no I'm not from India).... strange.... Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence...

Did not work for me while NOT being logged into a google account. I beleive it is because if you are logged into Google, they modify your search results based on previous searches. While logged in and working on some programming projects for extended period of time, x Langague will appear in my auto-complete for searches.

I'll try again in five years and it'll probably take me straight to churchofsatoshi.org

Post by: Kyraishi on May 15, 2015, 06:12:21 PM I think your are only getting what you have googled before. I don't get that result either. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: remotemass on May 15, 2015, 06:15:13 PM Wait, I logged out and it still completes it as I said.
I am in London, in the UK. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: SpanishSoldier on May 15, 2015, 06:17:33 PM Wait, I logged out and it still completes it as I said. I am in London, in the UK. Have you searched the complete phrase before ? Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: Kyraishi on May 15, 2015, 06:18:06 PM Wait, I logged out and it still completes it as I said. I am in London, in the UK. I don't think it matters if you are logged in or not. If you have searched that before from the same computer then google has that information stored, therefor automatically showing what they believe you are looking for.

The auto-complete gave me This. Except it's the times 0f india. The Times 0f India (yes with zero, no I'm not from India).... strange.... Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: franky1 on May 15, 2015, 06:30:39 PM if people search for bitcoins on google for the last 4 years then it makes sense that the results would prioritize content based on favourite topics.
for instance i have been playing GTA 5 alot (its great stress reliever). and when i type in: meteor observatory UFO guns cars it doesnt show any random results about astronomy, science fiction, hunting or murders, or car sales websites. but instead shows the top links as GTA based sites... even if i never type in the words GTA search term. thus i tried "The Times 0" and got: https://i.imgur.com/YoeYHt5.png (on a web browser with cleared cache and deleted history, that i dont use for my bitcoin activity) Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence...

i don't have your answer ... on the time 0 and the time 03 ... :D I'm no-one. https://girlonthecontrary.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/picture-110.png Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: El Emperador on May 15, 2015, 08:21:56 PM Yes, I've just tried and completed the sentence like OP.
I'm not logged in, I run firefox as incognito mode and have just cleaned my cookies. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: Buffer Overflow on May 15, 2015, 08:53:39 PM when you use a not profiled motor ... you have ;D neutral search. try https://duckduckgo.com/ ;) +1 Been using it for about 9 months now. Only use Google when I'm really struggling to find something unusual, which is rare. DuckDuckGo normally finds my queries. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: tspacepilot on May 16, 2015, 03:19:25 AM Yes, I've just tried and completed the sentence like OP. I'm not logged in, I run firefox as incognito mode and have just cleaned my cookies. Right, so what you're seeing is that you and OP have something similar in Google's model of the things you search. This is not terribly surprising, google doesn't just show you things from the history of what you've searched. It shows you things you're "likely" to want to search given your history. Logging in merely associates your searches with your account---google is still going to associate them with your IP and other data it can collect from your query (browser, OS, etc). Same goes for incognito mode and cookies---google does it's data collection severside no matter what settings you use in your browser. FWIW, I got the "the times 0f india ..." :) Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: franky1 on May 16, 2015, 03:49:51 AM as for duckduckgo.. "the times 03" does not reference bitcoin. it references a british newspaper.
as for using duckduckgo. using the term "bit" i got things like bittorrant, bitdefender, bitter lemon as for using duckduckgo. using the term "bitc" i got bitches, bitch slap, bitcommet so i fail to see that bitcoin is topping any international standard searches.. and just topping your personal searches based on personal tendencies. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: Omikifuse on May 16, 2015, 04:27:59 AM I got the times 0f India too
??? And when I put the 3, I get the times 03/jan/2009 chancellor Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: tss on May 16, 2015, 06:18:34 AM google is smarter than you think. if you want to see it in the results, they will try and show it to you. hard to explain how or why in one sentence but.. they're watching you.

Yes. This is why it is critical people stop using Google stuff ASAP. Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence...

Yes. This is why it is critical people stop using Google stuff ASAP. Apparently, the huge amount of infrastructure and resources that go/went into Google Search over the years is not only financially self-sustaining, but actually profitable. And their only revenue stream is from their advertisers. Ditto Youtube. What their story is with Android, I have no idea (subsidized by the left over profits from the advertising?). If you find all that hard to believe, you might reasonably wonder: "so, where could all the money to pay their employees be coming from?" Title: Re: I googled: "The Times 0(...)" and it completed the sentence... Post by: R2D221 on May 16, 2015, 02:06:31 PM I don't get how Google showing me personalized results automatically means they're evil. Also, I have used DuckDuckGo and it never gives me useful results.

Or maybe a friend of yours is suffering from depression. You do a search online to learn more about it. A year later, your life insurance policy is refused because you might be depressed and high risk. The list of things is really endless.....

I had not given that number to any other websites or companies, but found myself being bombarded with sales calls right after Google got it. I'm sure they sold it to someone, but I can't prove a thing because they would say it's only a coincidence. What they do with your data behind your back, without you knowing is evil.
