As someone who works in SEO, they 100% do use your past search results to tailor your future auto-completes and search results. Using an incognito window to search can help, but it'll still catalog everything you search during that session and start tailoring from there too.

[@itsgabibelle]

i thought so too, i noticed they do it when you're already in a search flow, (and with the new "journeys" thing) but i found no difference in multiple searches in incognito and while signed in, on different devices, and tested with a friend from across the country too, on vanilla google.com. the sources were really vague about it as well. i'm sure there's more of a component but couldn't back it up personally

[@bethswiftie]

@@itsgabibelle I can hear your voice saying this (I think I watch you too much 🥲)

[@Rayne_Storms]

I can't say for certain, but I've long suspected that incognito isn't ain't confidential as they say, but who knows. The algorithm works in mysterious ways.

[@pickles3361]

I have used Startpage which pulls from google results but does so in an anonymous way. You could also just use an alternative search engine with it's own search results

[@mildlycornfield]

Ironically, the 'more human' search algorithm has made trying to use more specific keywords (academic, etc.) practically useless recently. Google seemingly decides that using uncommon terms must be 'accidental' and will more often come up with its cutesy 'did you mean [more common search term that sounds vaguely similar but is actually unrelated or considered incorrect in the context]?' than it used to

[@Freaky0Nina]

Yep. Just yep. I wish there was an option to exclude non-academic sources...

By now Google often seems to just "correct" it on its own without telling, like it often drops words for me that are crucial and i get totally irrelevant results or changes words. I remember back when i could put in a very specific set of words and end up exactly where i wanted but that's no more

[@genericname8727]

I’ve been struggling to find the answers I look for on Google a lot recently. And trying to find discussions on Reddit forums was impossible because their search feature is just super broken. Then I’d use Google search for finding Reddit threads about specific questions and it worked well. So I’ve started adding “reddit” at the end of a lot of my Google searches and it’s way easier to find helpful answers that aren’t just trying to sell me stuff. Then I found out lots of people do this. It’s a thing. If anyone else is struggling to find an answer to their questions on Google, especially if the issue is all the top results being ads and/or large companies giving generic info using your keywords, then it might be worth adding “reddit” to the end of your query, depending what it is.

[@mqosu]

I do this all the time as well

[@LysolMyFace]

google actually now suggests adding reddit to the end of my search all the time now lol

[@aaronvanzile3824]

If you type 'reddit:' and then your search, it will search only reddit for those terms. It's a nice workaround for the absolute garbage that is the default reddit search

[@literaryloser4470]

Because reddit is real people's real opinions, for better or worse. whenever I want to know what people really think about a certain topic, I do exactly what you do. I don't look at reviewers or consensus, tell me why people feel the way they feel.

[@oddlem]

Woahh I'm glad it's not just me!! The responses there are just way more human and I get a lot of indepth info vs when I just search an article and it's either super basic or trying to sell something

[@Magmafrost13]

I still remember the day google search suggestions switched from only showing things you'd searched previously to being based on things anyone anywhere in the world had searched. Because my parents didnt know about this change, started typing "how to" and yelled at me and my brother for "how to kiss" showing up (we were both quite young at the time). Luckily my parents arent abusive assholes and were receptive to an explanation + demonstration that google changed how its search suggestions work.

@Matanumi it is. It's a pharmacy. Here in the States, that means it's also a convenience store that even has a tiny grocery section and seasonal items and odds and ends. But they don't sell tobacco/nicotine products anymore (outside of nicotine replacement therapy like gums and patches). And depending on the state and county, they may sell alcohol. Apparently, it's really weird to outsiders that our pharmacies sell more than medicine, so I thought you might find it interesting

I'm an IT Security specialist and you're spot on regarding scam advertisements. They are dangerous and need to be fixed ASAP. A popular method is to fake a software download site for VLC, OBS Studio or Notepad++ and bundle the application with a computer virus. This can happen to *anyone* if you're not paying full attention. We actively recommend Adblockers to our customers as an initial security layer.

[@hatchetone100]

I know its a bit different but my autocorrect is INFURIATING it literally "corrects" words that are spelt correctly! The other day I typed "good" and it autocorrected to "hood" which made no sense whatsoever with the sentence. I love technology.

[@eyebrowprivilegerevoked1972]

happens to me too (literally as I was typing this it tried to correct me to "Mr") but my favorite instance was when I typed "that guy is such a jerk", spelled correctly, and it autocorrected to "that guy is such a hero"

[@060525]

I'm an SEO professional and most of what you say is on point, just to chip in - the biggest reason for Google not explaining how their algorithm works in detail is because there are always bad actors waiting to game the system. They've been pretty transparent with a lot of the important things good meaning site owners need to know, which is why you were able to find all the info for this video :)

[@ducky19991]

They store your data and searches and use them for things like suggestions and ads even if you don’t have any “browsing history” they still have it all saved behind the scenes.

[@synistree]

I don't work at Google but I have supported such a system as an engineer. and, well researched and well explained. In a few engineering interviews I've asked the candidate to whiteboard how a system like auto complete would work then take it apart piece by piece and i think you got the key points. Also you asked about the term user intent. It's a catch-all best I can tell / buzzword for "quickly and accurately getting the user what they want" but I also see it used to mean "how can we (the company) profit and, you know, still do all that other stuff" - almost more like user engagement. idk, just my two cents. TBH I think you'd make a great software engineer.

Google definitely does use search history for autocomplete results. Lately I’ve noticed when I’m trying to search forum answers to technical issues I’m having it’s autocomplete will over rely on terms I’ve used for previous searches to autocomplete the search I’m currently doing. Sometimes it’s nice and helpful but others they’ll get really locked in on the wrong part of what I’m looking for. This does seem to refresh every session though.

[@sinom]

The actual definition of the "dark web" is anything you can't access with just a normal browser and search engine. This includes even simple stuff like private Facebook groups, all of discord etc. because in addition to the browser and search engine they also require a login and invitation.

[@Queen_Nyxie]

6:51 I think they actually do use your search history for autocomplete. Some of what I experienced makes no sense otherwise. The autocomplete I get before and after a search is totally different. Say I searched some anime or game I never searched before. Any search after that for a few hours to a few days will have an autocomplete that reference that anime or game. It lasts even longer in the autocomplete based on if I clicked on different websites or just bailed. Funnily enough, even watching a KZbin video can change your autocomplete results. Right before this video I did a "What does" search for something else and the "rizz" autocomplete was not there. Once I did the search again right after hitting that point in your video, it suddenly became my top result.

[@schwolmart]

I love the Mario transition sound. This was great. Subbed and bell dinged.

Okay so, here’s what I’ve noticed with autocomplete: When you search in one window and you search for a topic twice in a row the following suggestions will all be popular searching surrounding that very specific thing you’re searching. Meaning if I search for “is illegal hunting in Kenya bad?” followed by “places where poaching is the biggest problem” the autocomplete will, rather than give me the most popular searches to that next question, give me suggestions that alludes to a place in or near Kenya that has the worst cases of poaching. Rather than the worst place on earth. Meaning search engine autocomplete can lead you down a hole where it seems like your first assumption that it was in Kenya is right when it’s more common in (say) South Africa. I was writing a novel that included poaching problems and this exact problem happened to me. I got about halfway through the novel when I realised Google was personalising to my immediate searches. When I opened a new window the answers I got were WAY different.
