[re-search] New post: The politics of autocomplete

[René König]

In September 2010 Google introduced autocomplete (also Google Suggest) 
to its search engine. Based on previous queries, it tries to predict 
what we want to search for while we are still typing. How does this 
impact search engine usage and what to do the suggested queries tell us 
about our societies? Already now it is clear that the suggestions are 
often problematic. They may violate personal rights and can be 
politically-loaded and controversial.
