    What will be the follow up of this pop culture blog's discovery by entering words into a search field?

    What will happen from this?

    Not with a bang but a whimper...

    So it really wasn't manipulating search terms for her any differently than it does for anyone else.

    Too bad this wasn't interesting.

    All you have to do is enter the name Hillary only and it refutes every single point in this video. "Hillary Ind" leads to indictment and "Hillary e" leads to the email scandal

    And Google blocks the word "crime" for almost any public figure as part of a set of words they deem inappropriate . Try a combo of "cr" after any famous celebrity (besides al Capone), and it will not show the word "crime". This applies to OJ Simpson, Bernie Madoff, Whitey Bulger, Ted Kaczynski, and many more.

    You do realize that this wasn't the case couple days ago, right? Answer this, why before this video was created the search terms for "Hillary ind.." came out as "Indiana", "India" and after this video was made and went viral then the search term was all of the sudden changed. Looks to me like Google went full panic mode and manually changed the results because they were caught red handed.

    Lol nope. You're flailing. Don't suggest to me what I realize.

    A couple of days ago it was the same. Today, the results for "Hillary Clinton ind" are the same.

    Read it and watch all over again. The entire video is based on a combo of her full name plus the phrases "ind" as well as "cr"

    The entire video has been refuted.

    Read the link, read my words. Read them and weep.

    Your link doesn't mention "indictment".

    What indictment?


    Try it yourself! "Hillary ind" leads to three and only three references to indictment.


    It's indicative that the people who search for this phrase are lazy.

    The results are different from before the video came out and after the video was posted.

    Not talking about the search results - just letting you know that the link does not mention "indictment".

    Really? I tried this as soon as I saw the video the other day and get the exact results as described. Now a couple of days later I get a completely different set of auto-complete suggestions..

    Really.

    You got the results as described by the video, using the example "Hillary Clinton..."

    You didn't try using Hillary only, did you?
