[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay-this is starting to freak me out a little as it is very Minority Report. Whenever (almost without fail) I type in a Google search, Google totally predicts what I'm asking for. I could see for example, if I typed in Whitney and the suggestions had to do with Whitney Houston. But, I'm not talking about that. For example: I'm a lawyer and wanted to look up opposing counsel that I never hear of. So, at work, I typed in the first name (very common like Lisa or Robert). And, wouldn't you know it, the person's first and last name appeared as a suggested search (Robert Smith attorney fairfax).  Another example: I was looking at a recipe on line today that called for eggs. I had some eggs that I was unsure of. So-i typed in two words: how to. Before I had a chance to finish my query, the suggestions came up and the third was "how to tell if eggs have gone bad." how the hell does it know. The "how to" could have been anything!! Please help me out here with an explanation! Like I said, this happens all the time! [/quote]

Probably commonly enough searched combinations of words

For example if you type

Cedar Point it knows to fill in Amusement Park

Also, Google just changed its privacy default to something plenty evil.[/quote]
