    It feeds of your browsing habits.

    Yeah, I'm pretty OK with all that. Seems a bit extreme to suggest that makes me a computer illiterate noob.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes

    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I don't like Hilary but this is just reaching by the paranoid.

    This is not House of Cards for gods sake. This is politics.

    Your browser cache is a security risk. It might contain a "sleeping" virus that gets cut loose whenever the programmer intended.
    Why risk that?

    why do you lie when that lie can be exposed easily within a few seconds

    cro, gets you crocs crossword puzzles, cross roads middle school, and crock pot recipes

    croo, gets you crooked, crooked creek park, crook, and crooked creek

    crook, gets you crook and flail, crooked, crook, crooked creek park

    and crooked gets you, crooked creek park chapin, crooked creek park crooked creek and crooked

    I decided to even go further and did crooked H and got crooked house, crooked hairline, crooked horn, and crooked humans
    so I went further and did crooked Hi and got crooked hills, hips, hill road, and highway
    Hillary name doesn't show up till you type in crooked Hil then it shows this "Crooked Hillary Bernie" like what the hell does Bernie have to do with that search?
    then you go over to yahoo and "crooked Hillary" shows up after only typing in crook

    now if don't want to believe any of that go do it your self

    I am not sure what is happening, and I absolutely find Hillary revolting as a person, but how many people are stopped mid search of "Hillary Clint Cr___" and be all like "oh well, not going to finish typing criminal".

    just diproved it by showing a different search go to Google and start typing in Crooked Hillary. Hillary name it does show up till you get to Crooked Hil
    then go to Yahoo and start typing in Crooked Hillery. Hillary name shows up just typing in Crook

    It didn't for me.

    Had you searched the term "Crooked Hillary" before?

    It only showed up after I searched that term, not before.

    then I misread because search suggestions are the same for everyone and that is what I was referring to and no google at least for me doesn't have autocomplete so either he is doing so on a cell phone or has a auto complete app on his computer

    wrong search suggestion is the same for everyone I'm not referring to auto complete which is a separate program either on a cell phone or a program on you personal computer Im referring to search suggestions that is done by Google Yahoo or Bing and that is done by an algorithm by those companies by how many times certain searches are made

    No, they are not.
    Search suggestions are individual, they're tailored to your very browsing history and habits.

    What are you talking about? What the hell is "search suggestion"?

    The video quite clearly shows the "autocomplete" function, which is unique to each user.

    It's perfectly ethical to do what you feel is best for your country.

    one could argue that it is a 'donation' to a political party.
    that is to say, paying for auto-complete is a service google offers yes?

    I just typed "trump" and the first auto-complete option was "trump crooked hillary." Doesn't seem like any manipulation there.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    The only thing I can assess about the OP is a really strange fascination with Hillary's so-called scandals.

    My statement, regardless of the OP, stands.

    no they are not auto complete are they are done internally by a program or app on the device.
    search suggestions are done by the search provider and it is the same for everyone only difference is done by the area from which you do your search from and that is to give you search suggestions to local business and attractions. they are not tailored made for the individual

    educate your self

    Vyxn goes to google and searches "Crooked Hillary" every single minute of his life.

    I am not even exaggerating.

    There is no valid reason to make this kind of preference. Even if one seems an obviously better choice than the another, cannot be a reason.
