Remember how bingbong and I have pointed out numerous times that google feeds you what they think you're into? I froze the results of what I got just for giggles on the same search without YOUR link.

Google thinks you're a racist

All you did was add quotation marx. Google thought of the other one on its own.

This happy American couple came up on YOUR search, Selkoik. If Google thinks Olog is a racist...

Knowing how many searches work, I thought of a non-conspiratorial explanation. I tried the following search. Can you see what my hypothesis was?

Search: "Happy African American couple"

NOT adding quotation marks will bring you everything of irrelevance. Google's formula requires quote marks if you want anything approaching what you ask for. You also have to use minuses in front of words to make it stop. Lrn2search or you get what doubleclick recorded about your personal stuff and serves up what they think you want instead.

THAT'S what happened on your search, brah. They think you're a black militant. :)

Seriously ... here's how it works ...

We've TRIED to tell you before only to achieve derision. Your results are your "official personal profile" and here's where it gets better - google SHARES that with DHS and NSA. Feel better?

Only problem is, it's not.

Because subchat.com does doubleclick advertising, all you have to do is have this place in your "visited" list with google, and they'll spoon feed you the same stuff. Google's search engine is highly proprietary, and when they bought doubleclick many years ago, they got THEIR database engine as well.

I'll have to see about uploading some interviews I did with Stan Bunger on his "New Media News" show back in the 90's when we first started our software company. I made my allegations at the time about doubleclick, doubleclick responded to them and whoopsied bigtime. In another program, went after Microsoft with the same comedic results.

It's all about those cookies which are the link that ties you to your "history" and doubleclick/google has been amassing that dossier for a LONG time now.

The first link on the regular search is to a new thread on Free Republic about this very topic. And you and your lickspittle mcorivervsaf claim you don't post on that site. It's almost certainly how you learned about this.

And of course, because google stopped using "how many sites link to this other one" years ago because SEO ("Search Engine Optimization") was gaming the system, google now relies on which group of those words has the most hits through doubleclick being there unless there's other metrics which will override that positioning.

Ever wonder how some searches unrelated to subchat will list it anyway? How many people visit subchat anymore? :)

Yeah, but Olog would rather go with his storming friends on this ... :-\

Fact is, google's search engine falls victim to hotspots of activity, as monitored by their ad placements. If a bunch of people go there, then it rises to the front page for a few days until something else using those search terms replaces it in popularity. Popularity is the major "deciderer" UNLESS your search history overrides it by them knowing "I don't want to see that, show me THIS instead or I'm shutting my wallet." :(

Yes, and...?

A google image search for "happy american couple" yields images of couples who appear happy and are presumably American. Am I missing something?

The only reference I see to its being called "Boolean" is on Free Republic.

And it's not actually Boolean, as the poster on Free Republic suggests. It's not a question of choosing one answer or another, with no middle ground, which is what Boolean means.

Still, it's a good caution on trusting Google or other common sources.

People think search engines are a lot more accurate than they really are. They give endless pleasure to conspiracy theorists.

I agree that Google can be inaccurate, but this isn't an example. This was an example of someone not understanding how Google works.

The searcher wanted to say:

Find me images that show a happy American couple.

But there's no way to ask Google that question. So instead he asked a quite different question and got quite different answers:

Find me images that are attached to web pages that contain all three of the words: happy, American, and couple.

And of course, the most important part of google results, "what are people talking about *NOW*" - they scan twitter and other places to establish "relevance" and if the echo chamber is all a-twitter about something, those go to the top. Duh.
