Since the inception of Google Search back in 1998, the service went on to become the most popular search engine in the world. It has become so popular that whenever we have a query, we just say “Google it”! So, amongst all the other useful features of the service, one feature that stands out is the ability of the search engine to predict a sentence when you start typing in that search bar. And according to Google here’s how their autocomplete-predictions are generated.
“We don’t just show the most common predictions overall. We also consider things like the language of the searcher or where they are searching from because these make predictions far more relevant,” adds the post.
As an instance, the company compared (picture) the search predictions of “driving test” for a resident of the US state of California with the search predictions of the same for a resident of the Canadian Province of Ontario.
“We deal with these potential issues in two ways. First and foremost, we have systems designed to prevent potentially unhelpful and policy-violating predictions from appearing. Secondly, if our automated systems don’t catch predictions that violate our policies, we have enforcement teams that remove predictions in accordance with those policies,”adds the post further.
