Comment It's About the Abstract Terms (Score 1) 370

This shouldn't be thought of as ServerCheck and Cracks, but about term-a as related to term-b by algorithmic popularity (how often term-b has been searched for in the past with term-a, how often term-a and term-b occur "together" on pages in the db, etc). All Google Suggest does is try to make a prediction based on these kinds of popularity factors. Use of the term "suggest" as a marketing tool doesn't change the fact that this isn't a suggestion in the typical sense and thus legislation to make Google stop showing related terms is ridiculous.

Personally, I wish google suggest did more, like pop up a faceted classification tree of relationships as one typed, but I can see why it doesn't do that...
