Not exactly - I'm sure it's still a change to the algorithm that determines what Suggestions to use. there was a flaw or edge case in the original heuristic that wasn't well-accounted for at first.

Well, maybe I should have said that they made a manual change to the algorithm to give special treatment to certain words. That's different from letting searchers determine which words are most relevant to a particular subject.
