Google isn't making a claim about WHAT IS with search suggestions; they're making a SUGGESTION about what you MIGHT MEAN.

I MIGHT MEAN everything! Why is Google suggesting exactly THAT?

Irony alert... you say it isn't a search suggestion and then go on to complain about when it makes suggestions...

Did I say it isn't a search suggestion?! Where? What I said is it's something more than just a "simple search suggestion".

Do you really believe those suggestions are assertions?


Why do you mention assertion so often? This term has several meanings. Which one do you mean?

- Assertion (computing), a computer programming technique
- Logical assertion, logical assertion of a statement
- Patent assertion, the enforcement of patent rights, usually by litigation against an infringing party
- Assertions (auditing), used in the context of a financial statement audit
- Assertions are also a kind of speech act.


Please note how Google behave AFTER searching is finished (Search button hit)! What they say is:

"Showing results for [black]. Search instead for [white]"

Again, this is not just a simple suggestion. This is a distinct and straightforward ADVICE! If you give wrong advice to people, no doubt, you should be held responsible for criminal behavior.
