Spelling Corrections Added To Google Suggest
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has added spelling corrections to Google Suggest. “This week we launched an update that makes Google Suggest even more intuitive and simple. If you’re typing a query for which there are no search completions to offer, and yet some of your search terms do seem to be misspelled, Google Suggest will now offer a “Did you mean” suggestion for your query—giving you an option to correct your spelling right away and get on with your search,” said Google VP of Search Products and User Experience Marissa Mayer on the Google Blog. And if you’re a fan of Google Suggest, you may like our list: 130 of the strangest Google Suggestions [Link].

The problem with the popular search queries suggested by Google is that they can be quite off-putting. Below I have put together 130 screenshots of some of the strangest Google Suggestions I’ve ever seen. Warning: If you are easily offended by religion, politics, or racism — read a different blog post on this website.

Dinosaurs We… [WTF Google Suggest?]
“Our algorithms use a wide range of information to predict the queries users are most likely to want to see. For example, Google Suggest uses data about the overall popularity of various searches to help rank the refinements it offers,” states the Google Suggest FAQ.
That means in the past someone actually searched for “dinosaurs were made up by the cia to discourage time travel.” Wow. Plenty more Google Suggest screenshots to come in the future. This was actually funny enough to get its own dedicated blog post.
